Billed as “not a tour, not a documentary” but “a tragedy in three acts”, This Excessive Ambition is a unique look at the life and work of multifaceted Spanish musician C. Tangana. The directors follow the unconventional artist for well over four years, from the roaring success of his album “El Madrileño“, which garnered more than 2 billion streams worldwide. A privileged and eye-opening insight into the music industry, the frenzy of a tour, and the challenges, frustrations and gratifications faced by C. Tangana and his team, the film also delves into his creativity, craft, determination and ability interact with other artists. Definitely more than a documentary, This Excessive Ambition is a fresh and exciting cinematic experience.
