Since:
I am going to read novels again !
- reflects on you what a full good life could have been (when you have grey hairs like me...)
- demonstrates how a genius develops himself far from the crowd
- displays marvelous and numerous america's landscapes that you wish that all could have been hiked and lived for a while.

Jim Harrison is a huge storyteller, a greater than life character and I've been happy enough to attend one of its live talks. It was fascinating.
But in this documentary, the director thought it would be a good idea to have a static camera shooting him talk slowly for two hours.
Ok, sometimes, you get beautiful landscapes from Montana or Monument Valley for free but even this is a little bit on the nose after a while.
Looks like another french director who thinks boring = smart (I'm french btw so no bias here).
Avoid at all cost, reread Dalva and The Road Home and if not have not read them yet, do it.
This will be a much better use of your time and so much more pleasure.
