When satirist John Clarke died in 2017, the world mourned an icon.
A defining comedic voice for over forty years, Clarke gave away very little about his own life. At home, by contrast, he was an open book.
In a remarkable series of recorded conversations, John and his daughter (writer/director Lorin Clarke) trace his steadfast resistance to authority back to his childhood, delve into his early career forging a career in New Zealand, and offer delightful insights into his four decades in the entertainment industry.
Weaving together a rich television archive, tales from international comedy greats, and riches from more than 200 boxes of Clarke's work and letters, this MIFF Premiere Fund-supported documentary is a delightful insight into a legend of the antipodean screen.—Lorin Clarke
