"The Bitter Buddha" opens today (comedy)
Wisdom Quarterly, Eddie Pepitone, Steven Feinartz (TheBitterBuddha.com)
“The Bitter Buddha” is a comedy-documentary by Steven Feinartz that takes an unconventional journey with a “comic's comic.” For decades, Eddie Pepitone has proven to be a startling force in the alt-comedy scene. The film follows him during a middle-age career surge as he struggles with self-doubt, sobriety, and a challenging family history. Stand-up comedy, original animation, and engaging interviews with Sarah Silverman (whose own full-length comedy “Jesus is Magic” can be seen in its entirety below), Patton Oswalt, Marc Maron, Zach Galifianakis, and others help give insight into the life of a beloved career comedian known as “the guitarist that all the other guitarists go to see.” As one of the best-kept secrets on the scene, Pepitone is documented in an unhinged portrait of creativity, enlightenment, and rage.
