Synopsis "A Brilliantly Conceived And Executed Film!" -Judith Crist, New York Two-time Oscar®-winner Dustin Hoffman brings controversial '60s comedian Lenny Bruce to life in this "landmark" (Variety) film that earned six Oscar® nominations, including Best Picture. "A jagged portrait of a man driven to mainlining honesty into the arteries of a hypocritical culture" (Newsweek), Lenny is "artful, imaginative (Los Angeles Times) and truly an "extraordinary film" (Saturday Review)! From his first gig as a nervous Catskills comedian, it's obvious that Lenny Bruce is a force to be reckoned with.

Empire Review Masterful - 4 out of 5  (4/21/2002) Lenny Bruce. The name conjures all sorts of ideas for those who are interested in the world of comedy. The name also conjures up more salacious images for those who are into the dark side of Hollywood. Either way, the man became a legend in his time, both as a strong proponent of the first amendment of free speech and as a junkie who died by his own hand after seemingly throwing away what could have been a promising career.
