Belushi
Everyone loved him. Few knew him.
Directed by R.J. Cutler
Produced by Passion Pictures, Showtime Documentary Films
An intimate documentary portrait of John Belushi's brilliance and self-destruction, built from archival voices and interviews that reveal the gap between public persona and private suffering.
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.
