    Luther: Never Too Much is back, Nov 21 - 24, after a sellout screening as part of MdFF 2024! The film delves into the life of legendary singer Luther Vandross, from his early days at Harlem`s Apollo Theater to his rise to fame. Inspired by iconic vocalists like Dionne Warwick, Vandross`s career took off after a pivotal studio session with David Bowie. The film explores his passion for music, his exacting standards, and his struggles with the music industry. Despite facing personal and professional challenges, Vandross`s enduring legacy is celebrated through the memories of those who knew him best.
