Richard Pryor - Here and Now (1983)

"Part live stand-up performance, part documentary, this film is one of comedian Richard Pryor's later stand-up performances. As foul-mouthed as ever, Pryor touches on most of the same topics as in his previous live shows." - IMDb

"Richard Pryor: Here and Now is the final official album of stand up by Richard Pryor. Recorded at Saenger Theatre in New Orleans, Louisiana, it too was released with a film counterpart." - Wikipedia

"Pryor is becoming a spokesman for our dreams and fears, the things we find funny and the things we're frightened of. He is assuming a role that has previously been filled by such comedians as Will Rogers, Lenny Bruce, Mort Sahl and Woody Allen -- all men who, as Rogers put it, talked about what they'd just seen in the papers. " - Roger Ebert

"This is just one of the many demonstrations in this film of Mr. Pryor's amazing and hilarious empathy, of his ability to ascribe feelings to anyone or anything he sees. Together with his relentlessly bawdy wit and his brilliant physical mimicry, this makes him a concert performer of seemingly endless range." - The New York Times
