Bill Hicks has become emblematic as the rebel, post-punk, chain-smoking comedian whose career was so unfortunately cut short by cancer. This top-notch documentary details the life of the man told by those who knew him best.
There's a wealth of material here and photo-animation is imaginatively deployed using stills from his earlier life to recreate poignant moments. Alongside the 102 minute film are loads of extras; 30 minutes of unseen footage, 3 hours of extended interviews, his audio j find out more...
