Directed by: Adrian Buitenhuis
Cast: Bill Kinison, Sherry Kinison, Bob Saget
Time: 98 minutes
This brilliant
documentary looks at the life of Sam Kinison, who started out as a Pentecostal preacher,
like his father and two older brothers, but then moved on to stand-up comedy,
taking that unsure profession by storm with his wild energy and the demons that
fueled his addictions. We hear from family and friends of the late comedian,
who share their insight into the man who had a short but memorable career.
As a big fan of Sam Kinison, I loved this documentary. It is a story of addiction, of redemption and of tragedy. It made me want to rewatch the man at work on stage. He was so good. It made me so sad to see how it ended.
