Akio Sakurai has dedicated his life to honoring Jimmy Page. For 30 years
he recreated vintage Zeppelin concerts note-for-note in small Tokyo
clubs. Moving to L.A. to pursue his tribute dream, cultures clash and
Akio's idyllic vision meets reality.
What the critics are saying:
In our current universe, where followers give themselves over to their
entertainment or culture-warrior heroes with undying devotion and zero
questioning, his devotion to honoring this particular house of the old
is sweet, almost noble.
David Browne
Rolling Stone
At times both inspiring and melancholy, and consistently fascinating,
Mr. Jimmy is a compelling look at fandom taken to a degree that most
would never even consider.
Brent Hankins
The Lamplight Review
Through an exploration of the life of an ex-kimono salesman who has
dedicated his life to emulating Jimmy Page, Mr. Jimmy is a unique look
at what it means to pay tribute to the things you love.
