The Adventures of Mark Twain

The Adventures of Mark Twain (1985) – This Twain retrospective/primer features fantastic clay work, and it feels true to his spirit in many ways, but it’s got a weird meta thing going on, and while the almost Quay-ian “Mysterious Stranger” segment is a true highlight, much of the rest of the film may be too juvenile and slow for many viewers, even as it touches on dark and complex themes. 6
