Using previously unheard audiotapes recorded shortly after John Belushi’s death, director R.J. Cutler’s documentary feature examines the too-short life of the once-in-a-generation talent who captured the hearts and funny bones of devoted audiences.
Direction
Cutler lets Belushi's own voice haunt every frame.
Editing
Jarring cuts between glory and decay, never exploitative.
