Trivia
Negotiations broke down with regard to the use of INXS' music. After viewing the film without any music, Richard Lowenstein realized that the film would be completely ineffective without any music so he contacted Tiger Lily Hutchence Geldof (the singer's daughter with Paula Yates) who agreed with his conclusion. She reached out privately to INXS and was able to persuade them to relinquish the rights to nine of the band's songs.

Alternate versions
For the film's Australian release, the distributor chose to re-edit the film after the original version of the film received an MA15+ classification. These edits removed stronger course language from the film in order to obtain an M classification.

I hope Mystify gets a cinema release in the UK

I really hope this film gets a cinema release in the UK. Websites state that it is to be aired on the BBC but seeing Hutchence performances on the big screen would be far better. Fingers crossed.

Update Sept 2019. The film is showing as part of the BFI London Film Festival on 5 & 6 October in London. I'm going! :) Details at BFI website.
