John Cameron Mitchell’s rock musical is a movie that grows in stature – and love – with every passing year. Hedwig, played by Mitchell himself and spilling gloriously out of Stephen Trask’s Off-Broadway musical, is that rarest of creations: an iconic genderqueer character in a romance, and a point of personal identification for non-binary movie lovers with precious few to choose from. They, and many other Hed-heads, have taken it to their hearts — and in some cases, even tattooed her on their bodies.
