The music you know, the story you don't.

London, 1970. Farrokh Bulsara, whom his friends call Freddie, works as a baggage handler at Heathrow Airport while studying graphic design and writing songs. One night he sees Smile, a university band from the city, perform at a pub. After the gig, he looks for them and meets Mary Austin, who works at the Biba boutique, and the musicians Roger Taylor and Brian May. Smile has just lost its lead singer and bassist, Tim Staffell, who has left to join another band, and Freddie offers to take his place. The film is directed by Bryan Singer, and Rami Malek plays the lead role.

Trivia about Bohemian Rhapsody

Cinematographer Newton Thomas Sigel took charge of the shoot during Bryan Singer's absences, according to The Hollywood Reporter in late 2017.
Dexter Fletcher estimated that about two-thirds of principal photography had been shot when he joined the project to finish the film.
Los dientes salientes que llevó Rami Malek para interpretar a Freddie Mercury fueron fabricados por el artista Chris Lyons.
The soundtrack was produced by John Ottman, Singer's frequent collaborator, and the film has no original score composed for it, which sets it apart from other works by both of them.
