Two-time Oscar Dustin Hoffman brings controversial '60 comedian Lenny Bruce to life in this landmark 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, Lenny is artful imaginative and truly an extraordinary film.
From his first gig as a nervous Catskills comedian, it's obvious that Lenny Bruce is a force to be reckoned with. Armed with a shocking routine and a stripper as his muse, Lenny turns comedy - and America - on its war with his abrasive and often offensive humor. But life in the smoke-filled bars of the comedy circuit begins to take its toll. The drugs and arrests for his subject matter wear heavily on this maverick crusader .... but don't stop him from going to extremes right to his tragic and myth-making end.
