A new favorite of mine, a semi-documentary about Harvey Pekar. Anyone who has been introduced to Pekar via the comics he began writing in the '70s through his association with Robert Crumb should find much to appreciate here. I've only read a compendium of the comics illustrated by Crumb but am now itching to find them all (subsequent issues were illustrated by other artists). Pekar as his own character, a work-a-day slob in a dead-end file clerk job at a VA hospital in Cleveland, is a fascinating guy and perhaps the most sympathetic anti-hero I've ever discovered.
Terrific film. By the end of it you may not love Harvey, but you may very well be captivated by him.
Make it a triple feature! Find Terry Zwigoff's documentary Crumb and his feature film Ghost World, sit back with a bag of Cheetos and enjoy life.
