Hoffman is outstanding, especially in the night club stand up comedy scenes, as the flawed cult NY genius Lenny Bruce, the Beat Generation kid who became a blueprint for a new kind of entertainer with his outrageous anti-establishment routine, his profanities, his attitude toward drugs, his irreverence and general anarchistic demeanour. A must for all budding stand up comedians and fans of good movies.

THE GREAT ROCK 'N' ROLL SWINDLE (1979)
Certification18 Our Rating
A piece of cultural history as Malcom McLaren spills the beans on how he created The Sex Pistols and took the record industry for a fortune and the band for a ride! A tale of depravity and wickedness told with humour and imagination.

WHERE THE BUFFALO ROAM (1980)
Certification18 Our Rating
A tour de force of twisted weirdness, gonzo journalism and mutated nastiness, plus a bit of fear and loathing. Based on the writings and real life exploits of 60s journalist Hunter S Thompson. It's all here, the copious drink, the superhuman drug intake, and the wind-ups shot at whatever symbol of authority Thompson considers as fair game. Excellent.
