Music, Herbie Hancock ; director of photography, John A. Alonzo ; editor, Donn Cambern.Richard Pryor, Paula Kelly, Debbie Allen, Carmen McRae, Fay Hauser, Barbara Williams, Art Evans.One of the greatest comedians of all time, Richard Pryor gets raw and real in this brutally funny and lacerating self-portrait. Following the notorious incident in which he caught on fire while high on cocaine, nearly losing his life, Pryor exorcised his inner demons by writing, producing, directing, and starring in this dizzying hall-of-mirrors biopic and backstage drama, which traces a young comedian's rise to fame, from his childhood growing up in a brothel to the colorful experiences that shaped his edgy comic voice to the addiction struggles that brought him to the brink of death. As he did in his legendary stand-up sets, here Pryor fearlessly turns his soul inside out, revealing the deep vulnerability that made his art so compelling.English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing (SDH)Blu-ray; region A; 2.39:1 wide screen; DTS-HD master audio 2.0 surround ; requires Blu-ray player.
