CGiii Comment
Oh just let the music speak for itself...
Instead of having to listen to a bunch of nobodies spout on and on about their own self-importance...because, they just happened to go to a certain nightclub at a certain time.
Badly lit, badly filmed, badly put together - Ramos has neither captured the time, the energy nor its importance/relevance as to...now.
A dithering attempt - in more able hands it would have, at least, been watchable.
Hideous and incompetent film-making.

Maestro, tells the story of how a group of people found refuge and a call for life outside the mainstream. What evolved was a scene that set the ground work for what was to come in dance music culture worldwide, a rare insight into the secret underground world. It's the first time this story is told in a motion Picture, included in the film are pioneer dance music DJs and producers, "founding fathers", its center being Larry Levan, as well as high-profile DJs of today. Opting for a more personal and candid approach, MAESTRO shows the true history of the people through a realistic creative aesthetic. Tracing the underground's dance origin, MAESTRO brings out a real understanding of this intense lifestyle, and the lives they lived and died for.
