Inside the mind of Robin Williams

A funny, intimate and heartbreaking portrait of one of the world's most beloved comedians, Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind premieres same time as the US today on HBO (Astro channel 411 / HD 431) at 8am, with a same-day primetime encore at 9pm.
Told largely through Williams' own words, the film celebrates what he brought to comedy and to the culture at large, from the wild days of late-1970s LA to his death in 2014.
Directed by Marina Zenovich (Emmy winner for HBO's Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired), Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind reveals what drove him to give voice to the characters in his mind.
With previously unheard and unseen glimpses into his creative process through interviews with the man, as well as home movies and onstage footage, this insightful tribute features in-depth interviews with those who knew and loved him, including Billy Crystal, Eric Idle, Whoopi Goldberg, David Letterman, Steve Martin, Pam Dawber and his son, Zak Williams.
The documentary showcases what made Williams so unique, ranging from his youthful days in the San Francisco Bay area, to his time in New York at The Juilliard School, to his rocket-propelled fame on TV's Mork & Mindy, to his profound impact on the American cultural landscape.
This includes his landmark comedy show at the Metropolitan Opera, his Broadway debut in Waiting for Godot, his Academy Award-winning performance in Good Will Hunting, and his classic confessional bits about his alcohol and drug issues and 2009 heart surgery, which capture the spark that made him stand out across his four decade-career in entertainment.
Williams' tragic suicide in 2014, which revealed he had been suffering from the disease Lewy Body Dementia, left fans around the world heartbroken.
The genius of Williams lay in his ability to make a room, a comedy club, a concert hall or the whole world laugh.
