| User ReviewVirginia JA really nice documentary on one of my favorite fiction authors, the film looks into Selby's incredibly difficult childhood. Getting an inside look at his life helped me quickly understand why his novels were filled with some of the most disturbing things I've ever read. Thankfully, the film was made soon enough to include a good amount of interview footage with Selby himself, which is nicely fleshed out by the unique perspectives of his friends. |
| User ReviewPrivate UDocumentaire très instructif et inspirant sur la vie et l'oeuvre de mon auteur contemporain préféré. Je ne connaissais que très peu la vie de l'homme et ce fut un véritable plaisir d'en apprendre davantage sur lui. |
