The rare case in which a filmmaker's unadulterated worship of his subjects adds force and resonance--and not just luster--to the way that we see them.
Witty, treasure-filled and nostalgic in the best sense.
A stirring, kaleidescopic documentary.
An ambitious and largely successful documentary testimony-tribute to the founders of the so-called Beat movement.
A witty exploration of cultural mythology, while simultaneously contributing to that mythology.
Documentary filmmaker Chuck Workman has a slick and entertaining way of stitching together old footage and practically no analytical or historical insight at all.
As a work of historical documentation, The Source suffers from Workman's wholly celebratory take on the movement.
