For Madmen Only: The Stories of Del Close
USA, 2020. Directed by Heather Ross. 90 min. NR
Documentary that delves deep into the astounding and troubled life of the godfather of improv. Del Close taught everyone from Bill Murray, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Bob Odenkirk, Stephen Colbert and more. As he leads us through sewers, mental wards, and his peculiar talent for making everyone famous but himself, Close emerges as a personification of the creative impulse itself. He’s a muse with BO and dirty needles, offering transcendence despite (or because of) the trail of wreckage behind him.
“For Madmen Only is essential for comedy fans and historians. It’s something that anyone interested in theater as a career or even anyone who does improv comedy on the weekends should check out.” -Brian Tallerico, Roger Ebert.com
