Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work

Friday, July 30, 2010 7:00 p.m.

An immensely entertaining close-up look at the energetic, driven and innately funny veteran comic. “One of the best documentaries ever made about show business.”—Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

Exposes the private dramas of comedian and pop icon Joan Rivers as she fights tooth and nail to keep her American dream alive. A unique look inside America's obsession with fame and celebrity-Joan's story is both an outrageously funny journey and a brutally honest look at the ruthless entertainment industry, the trappings of success and the ultimate vulnerability of the first queen of comedy. With unprecedented, unguarded access, the film takes the audience on a year long ride with Joan Rivers in her 76th year of life; it peels away the mask of an iconic comedian, laying bare both the struggle and thrill of living life as a groundbreaking female performer.
