| Description (by producer & GT in English only) : | The life of underground comic book writer Harvey Pekar is chronicled in this exceptionally droll film. Told through a collage of dramatic sequences, interviews with the real Pekar and his pals, and quirky animated sequences, this cinematic comic book follows Pekar's career, artistic and otherwise; his marriage; his 'cancer year'; and even his boisterous television appearances. | Harvey Pekar werkt als archivaris in het veteranenziekenhuis van Cleveland. Tijdens een rommelmarkt maakt hij kennis met de bekende striptekenaar Robert Crumb. Harvey denkt dat zijn alledaagse leven een perfect onderwerp zou zijn voor een nieuwe strip. Aangemoedigd door Crumb, verschijnt het eerste nummer van American Splendor. Ondanks de erkenning ontbreekt er iets in zijn leven maar dan ontmoet hij Joyce Brabner, zijn zielsverwante met hetzelfde gevoel voor humor. Ze trouwen en gaan de dagelijkse beslommeringen te lijf…
American Splendor is de bewerking van de beroemde gelijknamige strip, gelanceerd door Harvey Pekar in 1979. Pekar heeft voor de illustraties van zijn eigen alledaagse leven beroep gedaan op Drew Friedman, Jeim Woodring en Robert Crumb. | |
