All the interviewees appear on screen one by one, staring at the camera in the style of a Warhol 'screen test': most of them crack up.

User Reviews

Extremely well done!

This was a very interesting documentary on Lou Reed's background and evolution over the past few decades --- some great interviews and "cameos" by friends, musicians and critics alike! Check it out... if you don't like Lou already, you will - if you like him, you'll love him, and if you love him, you'll want an extra hour added on to this film. 8 and 1/2 out of 10.
