I was listening to some of the Jazz Loft video on the radio a few weeks ago (long story) and I heard how the minor folks did produce some of the best stories. You are right, biopics sometimes work, and sometimes don't. Like any other kind of movie. What a neat post.

I do think the Biopic suffers sometimes (particularly the biopic of someone who wa lives recently) from the question of whether the person is being acted out or imitated. I wasn't a big fan of Ray (yes, I know I'm in the minority) because I thought it was just one long imitation (there were othe reasons, but that was the main one). ANYWAY, you're right the insignificant remnants of the past can tell us a lot. Nice points.
