Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson

3 1/2 out of 5 stars. I remember not being too thrilled with Gonzo when I originally saw it, but I've come around some since then. The archival footage was nice even if I've already seen a great deal of it before. Nothing really new was revealed (although the funeral footage was cool) and it felt like the last 25 years of Thompson's life was kind of glossed over. Felt like more of a celebration than a documentary.

Offered very little insight about Hunter that wasn't already evident in his writing. The best part was his first wife openly stating that he was nowhere near his best when he died and he should have gotten his act together instead of quitting.

Really good an comprehensive documentary on Hunter that somehow still left me a little cold. Not sure why. Highly recommended for fans of his work.

J'ai un peu de mal avec le côté documentaire qui balance pleins d'images qu'on ne pourrait replacer dans un contexte historique déjà flou si on ne l'a pas forcément vécu ou déjà appréhendé. Cela m'a permis néanmoins de faire quelques recherches sur ce Hunter qui m'était inconnu. Que dis-je... ce monsieur Thompson !

Terry Gilliam en a fait un portrait halluciné dans "Las Vegas Parano"... et on voit ici que le véritable Hunter S. Thompson était déjà bien barré ! L'inventeur du "journalisme gonzo" avait une personnalité plus qu'instable, une passion pour les armes à feu, un goût immodéré pour l'alcool et les drogues... mais aussi un certain génie. D'une facture classique, ce documentaire donne un paquet d'infos sur le "loustic".

This had the potential to be a masterpiece about an incredible and iconic man.. but it was an average documentary with horrible 'flash back' scenes. I did not like it!

I had this film on my laptop for quite a while and I just didn’t put myself watching it, I regret that I didn’t saw it earlier, really. What can I say, one of the best documentary I’ve ever seen. It makes you laugh, it makes you think, it makes you fell into it. It’s one hell of a piece.
