Chris Rock on his documentary 'Good Hair'

One of the most purely entertaining Toronto films I saw wasGood Hair, Chris Rocks documentary (directed by Jeff Stilson) about the phenomenon of African-American hair: weaves, perms, relaxers, the whole works.

For the uninitiated, theres an annual black hair convention in Atlanta called the Bronner Bros. International Hair Show, an over-the-top spectacle where much of the film (in theaters Oct. 9) takes place, and where Rock and Stilson mine much of their comedic gold.

In Part 1 of our OscarWatch interview, Rock and I talk about which interview subject turned him down, as well as some of the films most priceless moments.
