Get the bluray! Packed with extras - almost tripling the original running time. I wish I could say the same for the recent DePalma documentary.
Tons of great footage: some quite rare, The Private Lives of Edgar Hoover, clips from old TV shows he worked on and all sorts of clips from his lesser known films as well as his most celebrated. The archival footage (and Larry's stories about) of actors and actresses no longer with us featured can fill a book: Chuck Conners, Bette Davis and Broderick Crawford to cult faves like Zoe Tamerlis(Ms.45, Bad Lieutenant) and the late David Carradine - and many more.
A host of great interviews: J.J. Abrams, Rick Baker, Eric Bogosian, Barbara Carrera, Joe Dante, Mick Garris, Yaphet Kotto, John Landis, Laurene Landon, Traci Lords, Michael Moriarty, Tara Reid, Eric Roberts, F.X. Feeney, David J. Schow, Martin Scorsese, Ryan Turek, Fred Williamson, a few fans and of course Ace Raconteur - Larry Cohen. And many more! All have great stories and the affection for Cohen is moving and infectious. Tellingly, his first wife is interviewed: she has nothing but love and kindness towards him. Larry Cohen, in addition to his many, many credits - he's the best ex-husband in history.
Chock full of stills and clips from a decades long career. This movie is as lively and entertaining as any of Cohen's features.
The wonderful tribute to the late Larry Cohen. (A Prince.) The best since The Big Lebowski (Hint: BRANDED!)
