Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Grant Gee also directed Radiohead's 'Meeting People Is Easy' — another document of beautiful creative suffering.

Cultural

This was filmed while Adams was still alive for early interviews, making his archive footage here among his last recorded reflections. The title's absurd recursion is itself an Adams joke.
