Watch Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot [Sub: Eng]
On the rocky path to sobriety after a life-changing accident, John Callahan discovers the healing power of art, willing his injured hands into drawing hilarious, often controversial cartoons, which bring him a new lease on life.
The specificity of the character that Hill plays...I don't know where that performance came from...what's interesting and apparent is that there's truth there, something real and his own.
It is apparent that the film has undergone extensive editing because it feels imbalanced when emphasising Callahan's alcoholism while under-developing and omitting other important facets.
The film, loosely adapted from Callahan's life, is as divisive as his work, sure to be considered brutally funny by some and brutally insensitive by others.
Cartoonist John Callahan is given an appropriately unorthodox remembrance in Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot, an off-kilter biopic about an off-kilter guy.
Leave it to filmmaker Gus Van Sant to make a film about a hopeless drunk who becomes a quadriplegic into a story that's funny, dark, sad, sweet and even sort of inspirational.
John Callahan's life becomes one of the most interesting recent portraits of an artist's journey. But the beauty of Van Sant's approach is that he brings it down to earth, because every life is a hard road traveled.
