It was the naughty words wot raised the questions, as I remember, other than 
anything substantive in the film.  Go figure.  Harrison was already past his 
best when he perpetrated it.

V is only biography insofar as it uses Harrison's much-smudged personal 
biography as the material -- otherwise it's basically a voice over (or out 
of) a talking head, as such not terribly innovative.

TW3 did it before, and better.

Un Chien Andalou?

Intersect between a poet and a film-maker happens but rarely, why we come 
back to "Night Mail".

Otherwise, I can see why you want to scream, it's either voice-over (and 
even "Night Mail" skates on the edge of that) or gossip.

K, sera ...
