Overview

• Arte airs "Kate Bush: Intensiv und andersartig" on Friday, 10 October at 21:40, with the film available afterward in the Arte Mediathek and on YouTube.
• Directed by Sonia Gonzalez, the hour-long profile relies on archival interviews to probe Bush's motivations as a reclusive artist who seldom appears on camera.
• The film retraces her beginnings from composing at 11 and an early boost from Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour to "Wuthering Heights," the first UK No.1 written by a woman at age 19.
• It underscores her autonomy in retaining song rights, resisting label pressure, and self-producing "Hounds of Love" after "The Dreaming" faltered, a record now hailed as a pop landmark.
• Reviews highlight the 2022 resurgence of "Running Up That Hill" via Stranger Things and social media, note an audio clip of Bush reacting to its return, and criticize the omission of her 2014 22-show London comeback.
