Is It Really So Strange? Synopsis & Summary

From his early stint as the singer for the Smiths to his wildly successful solo career, alternative-music icon Morrissey has spawned a fanatical cult following that reaches from his native shores of England all the way to the United States. In this music documentary produced to find out just what drives Morrissey's loyal legions of fans, filmmakers trace the origins of the singer's popularity back to the days when such now-classic Smiths songs as "This Charming Man" and "How Soon is Now?" ushered in a whole new era of modern rock. - Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
