    Interesting

    I'm not sure why other reviewers here hated it so much, I found it interesting. I have been a Hunter fan for 11 years and read all his books, films etc and found this of interest. Yes perhaps there is too much famous talking heads and too much footage from where buffalo roam but if you're interested in Hunter and not to critical give it a try......

    HST for Beginners

    I was a bit annoyed by this documentary because it doesn't have a whole lot of footage of the man himself, mainly other people talking about him....mostly celebs (Depp, Penn, Del Toro, Cusak- and, fine, it's nice to see their pretty faces, but his life had very little to do with them) -- This documentary is more like a tribute to his life, post-suicide. Not actually ABOUT his life, the torridness, the myths, the addictions...blahblahblah...it only touches on these topics...respectfully. I was disappointed. The interviews with Hunter are few and far between and cut to another 'celeb' just as they're getting interesting. Don't get this if you are a fan of his works. Get it if you're interested in HST and want more of an introduction....
