Wayne Ewing’s Breakfast with Hunter was a great documentary film, but it had one small problem.
It ended.
Ewing has rectified this shortcoming with Animals, Whores and Dialogue, a welcome sequel to – and continuation of – Breakfast with Hunter.
We get a little more time with the exhilarating and fascinating American writer, Hunter S. Thompson.
Ewing – who, for 30 years, was Thompson’s cinematic Boswell – adds to his brilliant portrait of this major artist.
Rarely has a filmmaker ever had such a long and intimate audience with his subject. Ewing began following Thompson in the 1980s and amassed miles of film before the writer’s suicide in February 2005.
In Animals, Whores and Dialogue, we get to watch Thompson as heritually prepares to write – parrying with his friends, bouncing ideas around the room, formulating what he needs to say.
