This DVD celebrates IDG's 150th release. The label has since grown into a full-scale world of its own. "Gigolo Freakshow" also does something else - take the viewer deep into the realms of past reality, into the lives of everybody involved. The DVD is directed by Angelika Lepper, which has beautifully managed the areas of research and storytelling: Most of this material is previously unreleased, almost impossible to get. Private recordings, intimate film material and very rare moments of the artists' lives generously compiled, so that the story of IDG is told yet again ... but not by any journalist or reporter. The story is told by the artists, the Gigolettas and the people.
