2003 ***** 105 mins.
The true story of Harvey Pekar is brought to the screen in a fantastically creative way. Harvey Pekar is a file clerk who created an underground comic book series about his life. That comic book series was turned into a play and then into this film. In fact, Harvey Pekar himself even narrates the film. No one knows what will happen in this simply wonderful film.
Rated R for language.
Based on the Comic Books "American Splendor" and "Our Cancer Year" by
Harvey Pekar + Joyce Brabner
Written for the Screen and Directed by
Shari Springer Berman + Robert Pulcini
