![The Great Pretender [Blu-ray] [2012]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61akD+PowpL.jpg)
Freddie Mercury was one of the most charismatic, complex and fascinating characters in British rock music. The story of Queen is a well known one but this new film focuses on Freddie Mercury and the solo projects he worked on outside of Queen. Using extensive archive footage of interviews with Freddie Mercury, concerts, video shoots and personal material, much of it previously unseen, along with new interviews with friends and colleagues, a portrait emerges of a man who was very different to his flamboyant onstage public persona. A generous, caring, thoughtful man with a self-deprecating sense of humour and a genuine passion for music. Freddie Mercury touched the lives of millions through his career both with Queen and as a solo performer and this new programme will delight and inform his legions of fans.

Be prepared for some frank discussion
I have seen this dvd on television before and I can never grow tired of watching it. The program gives a great insight to Freddie and also fantastic contributions from other people in the music business. If you are a Freddie or Queen fan then this is a must!

the best freddie documentary
i am a huge queen fan and have bought many queen and freddie mercury DVD's over the years. i thought that this one would just be all the same old footage thrown together but i was wrong.this DVD contains alot of never before seen footage and brand new interviews with brian may, roger taylor, jim beach (their manager) and others.i was suprised by how intimate and personal some of the footage was,for example,the home video of freddie with his god son on christmas day 1990.this DVD is a must-have for all freddie fans and is the best documentary about freddie that has been released to date.

A must for any Freddie fan
We bought this DVD immediately after watching the latter part of the Great Pretender on TV. We love Queen and Freddie Mercury and this is a fabulous addition to any collection, especially since it contains a lot of footage of Freddie talking. We were captivated with it on TV and upset that we hadn't seen the whole programme, but then very happy to discover it for sale on Amazon! We haven't actually watched the DVD yet, but it arrived in new condition, so I am sure it is going to give us a very happy evening's viewing.

The king's documentary
As for a FREDDIE fan, rather than Queen fan, for me it was nearly the first and definitely most precious thing ever officially published on DVD, concerning documentaries. Because it's about Freddie's SOLO. Even unusual - so much got used to hear the group's story. And so fresh to hear what you hear in this one. Only dear and very loyal people talking, adorable footage and so many funny, interesting, cute details here and there, that you never thought of thinking of Freddie. I LOVED this one!
