Movie Haiku:"Hilly" (Hillel) Kristal was a Jewish guy from NJ who became the Godfather of Punk Rock by nurturing talented kids before they became the big names we know them as today (eg, Blondie, Talking Heads, etc). Rickman portrays Hilly as a mensch lit from above by his own private star. Yet again truth is stranger than fiction. Very enjoyable trip down memory lane! Not yet seen by Rich.
