documentary
Nice doc on gonzo artist Ralph Steadman. His hook-up in the 60's with Hunter S. Thompson was one of the century's most fortunate. HST wrote scabrous, lacerating prose about the Kentucky Derby, Hells Angels, Las Vegas and Richard Nixon but Steadman brought these themes to life with his outrageous drawings.
Johnny Depp put this project together and it was a low-key labor of love. We get shown a vast array of Ralph's work which really is incredible for it's anger, style and message. No illustrator has ever shown it like this before...and likely none will ever again.
Solid tribute to an eccentric genius.
