SICK(1997) is an excellent mature-content documentary, about facing an early mortality.

There are a couple copies on the internet archive, but be warned that a large chunk of source material was home VHS recordings. Warning! Very graphic & torturous stuff: https://archive.org/details/sick1997 & https://archive.org/details/sickllifebob93

His work with Trent Reznor was great.

Strong performance from a strong man.
I just love the attitude of being dealt a rough hand in life, and meeting that on your own terms.
