Gleason
Documentary

Richard Pryor: Live in Concert
Genre: Stand-up comedy

Pryor’s no-holds-barred, profanity-laced comedic style influenced an entire generation of actors and stand-up comedians, as did the legendary stand-up film Live in Concert. Pryor’s physical, high-energy brand of comedy brings his jokes to life, as the troubled comic all but jumps off the screen. Live in Concert plays far better on a screen than it does through a set of speakers, as Pryor’s hyper-dramatised facial expressions truly bring his jokes to life.

Celine Dion: Courage
Music album

Written by Stephan Moccio, Erik Alcock and Liz Rodrigues, the anthemic Courage is about getting yourself back together after a heartbreaking loss. The heart-felt ballad, backed by piano and strings, sees Dion crooning about getting back on your feet after a negative relationship. “It’s not only a song, it’s an emotion, it’s a language,” said the 51-year-old superstar. “Everybody’s losing people and everybody’s going through sickness … and things they can’t even figure out, and it can be overwhelming. You have to find within yourself courage among your family, your friends and you first, I believe.”
