What Is Kylie About?
Directed by Michael Harte, the three-part documentary about Kylie Minogue traces her rise from Australian soap star to one of the most enduring names in pop music. It combines archival footage with home videos, photographs, and behind-the-scenes material.
On top of that, it features interviews with Kylie herself, along with commentary from people close to her. The list includes Dannii Minogue, Jason Donovan, Nick Cave, and producer Pete Waterman.
Those expecting a “greatest hits” type of retrospective will be happy to know that the docuseries digs deeper. It deftly explores the disconnect between Kylie’s cheerful public image and the personal struggles she often kept private. Plus, it focuses heavily on reinvention, as well as aging in pop music and dealing with media scrutiny.
The series kicks off with Kylie’s early life in Melbourne and her breakthrough role as Charlene Robinson on the Australian soap Neighbours. Then, it shows how unexpectedly fast her fame exploded in the late 1980s. It also tackles Kylie’s artistic reinvention in the 1990s and her massive comeback during the early 2000s. Finally, it gets personal, highlighting Minogue’s battles with cancer and her complicated relationship with public perception.
While Kylie season 2 is a long shot, the docuseries does a great job at showing the icon as a resilient and emotionally grounded figure. If you’re hungry for more, special Kylie: Tension Tour Live is streaming on Netflix as well.
