American Splendor

Part documentary, part autobiography and part dramatization, all based on Harvey Pekar’s cult comic-book series, American Splendor cleverly manages to keep the Cleveland crank’s vision intact. For both Pekar and the movie, everyday life is a form of routine performance art, to be endured as much as enjoyed.
