Super Duper Alice Cooper (2014)

Hello! Hooray! Let the show begin... A documentary about the band and the man named Alice Cooper. It charts the rise and fall and eventual comeback of Alice, the pastor's son who became a painted rock icon.
It's told by the artist himself, with contributions from some of the people who featured heavily in the journey. It gets behind the theatrics and artistic statements and doesn't gloss over the alcohol and the drugs.
Distilling a 45 year career into something that fits a 98 minute slot means a lot is missing, but what's included is insightful and engaging.
