Val (2021)
I watched Val tonight. Its mostly old footage that Val filmed himself. He was quick to have a video camera and seemed to carry it with him everywhere.
If you're unaware, Val Kilmer lost his voice during his treatment for throat cancer. He can still speak, but with difficulty.
Anyway, even if you're a mild fan of Kilmer's work, this is worth a watch. I much prefer this format for documentaries to the talking heads we get with other documentaries like Velvet Underground (2021)
Val is from Amazon Studios and A24.
I really, really want to watch this documentary since Val Kilmer is one of my favorite actors but I know it's gonna be a rough watch...
For those who've never seen young, comedic Val Kilmer, check out Top Secret or Real Genius. He's got Anthony Michael Hall levels of comedy timing at such a young age.
