American Splendor

A documentary/feature film about the creator of a comic called American Splendor - Harvey Pekar. The way the movie is shot like it is the storyboard of a comic book, a refreshing change. Although Harvey is an ordinary person like all of us, the film does not bore one as one would expect the story of a hospital file clerk would. Harvey Pekar is the common man with a 'comic' genius who manages to strike gold, the American dream.
