Review of American Splendor (2003) by Sameer P — 05 Feb 2008
Like a censored Bukowski poem.
This is a great movie.
It's pretty funny and at the same time has that depressing.
Dark comedy, about real life comic writer Harvey Pekar, comic book junkie, file clerk, record compulsive obssesive. Sounds like a character everyone knows. His life was drawn and depicted by Robert Crumb in the 70's, in the comic book American Splender, which is now a comic book classic.
The film trys to show his life in the same way as the comic and does a great job.
With the actual Harvey Pekar, his wife and his bestfriend in someway narating the film, as well as actors and illustrations.
