AMERICAN: THE BILL HICKS STORY

Directed by: Matt Harlock & Paul Thomas
Released: 2009

if you've never heard bill hicks' standup (for SHAME!), but have even the slightest interest, see this. it's a great starting point for the uneducated, but even if you've seen and heard all his material, it's still cool to know how things worked for him. there's not really much to say, if you're a bill hicks fan, you wanna see this. if you're not, but you want to be, you wanna see this. my only complaint was the style of filming; there were very, very few "talking head" style interviews. 95% of the movie was voiceovers from family members and friends with pseudo live action/animations going on. i don't know why, but it bugged me. 9/10.
