Oliver Stone describes him as a puzzle wrapped in a enigma, Robert Downey Jr. fiercely defended his reputation as being extremely difficult to work with. This well shot auto biopic is pieced together from the artists achieve of his life as he was shooting his own video from the early days everywhere he went. If you are a fan of Val Kilmer, it's a must watch documentary. Even if your slightly curious about the life of the artist it's well worth the investment of your time. Val tells this story through the years of video he shot while his Son Jack narrates his journey into stardom and fame. Very personal and detailed view of his incredible life's story at Julliard and film. As another reviewer eloquently wrote "Val displays himself totally unashamed and naked" My opinion is he is an artist to the truest sense of the definition. Passionate, intelligent and uber-creative, his range and enormous body of work speaks for itself. His recovery from aggressive throat cancer makes it very difficult for him to speak but he does not give up and it does not slow him down. I found this film inciteful and fascinating-well done Val !
