Have to say, it looks pretty damn fine, and a fitting tribute to the man and his works.

Excellent
That´s gone straight to the top of my must see movies
Ok it´s technically its a Documentry but it´s been shown in the cinema so I am calling it a movie
Thanks for posting that, Erudite.

I saw it at the flicks a few weeks back. An interesting insight with a few very amusing anecdotes, especially from Ralph Steadman.
All in all though, I came away feeling it had only scratched the surface despite it's run time.
