Review of Lenny (1974) by Pierluigi P — 20 Aug 2009
Biopic of the notorious comedian Lenny Bruce, a man who wasn't afraid of using a coarse vocabulary to raise conciousness over a hypocritical society, and who was sentenced to silence in the most unfair ways.
Dustin Hoffman never ceases to amaze me, his versatility and the ability to get beneath every layer and reach the soul of the character.
A wonderful film that moved me and genuinely conveyed all the agony and impotence that this honest, outspoken and tremendously talented man must have felt with every infamy and clash he had with justice and life in general.
Shot in beautiful black and white.
