Biopic on stand-up comedy great Lenny Bruce, played by Dustin Hoffman. Bruce's groundbreaking, no-holds-barred style and social commentary were deemed obscene by the 1960s establishment. With the notoriety came a near-messiah complex which fueled his comedy and taste for drugs. Valerie Perrine won Best Actress at Cannes for her portrayal as Honey, Bruce's troubled wife.
