The TVI Take
1974 Best Picture nominee. Dustin Hoffman as Lenny Bruce, the boundary-pushing comedian prosecuted for obscenity.
High cognitive demands from the non-chronological structure mixing interviews, performances, and personal life. Educational value from the history of free speech and comedy as social commentary. Bruce's material remains provocative.
