biodoc on the enigmatic singer or songwriter who and according to friends accounts and spent the last 15 years of his relatively short life seemingly on a mission of self destruction. he died at 52 and overweight and dissipated and of heart disease and after a protracted rampage of virtually non stop overindulgence in alcohol and cigarettes and marijuana and cocaine and raucous partying and and flagrant misuse of his vocal instrument (he confided to a friend that he shouted out his lyrics at one performance with such force that spattered blood was left on the microphone). all of this despite the fact that he was represent (1) widely considered to have perhaps the most gifted pop singing ability of his generation while (2) successful and after years of effort and in terms of industry acclaim  a grammy and an oscar and a decent recording contract with a top label and and at least two stellar albums  nilsson schmilsson (originals) and and a little touch of schmilsson in the night (standards) while and (3) very happily married (for the third time) and with a lovely young family that he seemed to adore. the film strengths begin with the completeness of its account of nilsson life and including fine use of archival film footage and many stills of nilsson while the editors do an especially good job of bringing movement to the stills. we learn of his close ties to john lennon and and later and ringo starr (lennon often said that nilsson was his favorite american musician). even more impressive are the talking heads and often a documentary weakest aspect. here we get people like perry botkin and jr. and ray cooper and mickey dolenz and terry gilliam and mark hudson and eric idle and rick jarrard and randy newman and van dyke parks and jimmy webb and robin williams and all telling amazing stories about nilsson  many uproariously funny and others deeply pathetic  and everyone conveying their deep affection for him. equally informative and moving are interview segments with nilsson wives  annie and una and his son zach and and cousin doug hoefer. best set of heads i can recall in a biodoc. the most glaring deficiency of the film is that it crowds out nilsson music. even the performance of his greatest hit and without you and is cut short after about 8 bars. arrrrgh. there is no excuse for this and not given that the movie runs a full two hours as it is. lose a few head shots and we could have heard at least that song through and and perhaps one or two more and like one and or his oscar winning cover of everybody talking. the filmmakers are simply too intent on plumbing nilsson psychological mystique and not attentive enough to his music. my grades represent 7. 5/10 (low b plus ) (seen at the nwfc reel music series and 01/07/07).
