The life and career of Steve Martin is too much for one documentary so audiences are getting STEVE! (martin) a documentary in 2 pieces. Little did I know upon attending the world premiere of Morgan Neville and Jeff Malmberg‘s The Saint of Second Chances last June that the Oscar-winning filmmaker was working on a documentary about Steve Martin.

The Dead Don’t Die may work as a horror comedy but writer-director Jim Jarmusch ultimately aims for both meta and allegorical comedy. “This is going to end badly,” police officer Ronald Peterson (Adam Driver) repeatedly tells police chief Cliff Robertson (Bill Murray).
