Bob Dylan, tak ako väčšina z nás, nebol nikdy iba muž jednej tváre. Počas svojho života sa neustále menil hudobne, fyzicky aj psychicky. Ale na rozdiel od väčšiny z nás boli Dylanove premeny ventilované na medzinárodnej scéne, s kultúrnymi a emocionálnymi ohlasmi, ktoré populárny umelec vzbudzoval. Film dramatizuje Dylanove premeny ako sériu bezradne sa pohybujúcich individualít, stvárnených rôznymi hercami a dokonca aj herečkou. Od mladého snaživého speváka pripomínajúceho Woodyho Guthrieho k ľudovému prorokovi v raných 60-tych rokoch v Greenwich Village. Od moderného Arthura Rimbauda k folkrockovému „Judášovi“. Od odvrátenej kultúrnej ikony bojujúcej o záchranu svojho manželstva či znovuzrodeného kresťana vyrovnávajúceho sa s morálkou, až k osamelému kovbojovi v exile vlastnej kontroverznej slávy.

The poet and painter, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, is among the world's living monuments to arts and letters. For well over a half century, Ferlinghetti helped shape the currents of poetry and literature with his forceful engagement with society and an ideological position that often found him at odds with the political currents of his day. Ferlinghetti's quiet, behind the scenes demeanor and disarming mien may have assuaged, or even fooled, certain opponents, while in reality he was a literary mercenary, a rebel at the forefront of our own cultural revolution.
A rare beatnik artifact of the early 1960s, one of only a few such films made before the hippies took over Hollywood. Low budget and in b&w, it's set in Greenwich Village, with what seems like a mostly improvised script. It begins as a late film noir crime tale involving a bank robbery where only one of a group of thieves escapes with his life, as well as $90,000 in loot. Injured and on the run, he hides in a local tour bus and is soon taken in by a group of bohemians who shoot him full of morphine to ease his pain and let him sleep it off on a mattress. Mason is the head beatnik. There's also the owner of both an upstairs coffeehouse and garret, where these beatniks hang out. They, in turn, bring the tourist trade in. Although the robbery is supposed to be the main focus of the plot, it quickly turns into more of a character study featuring these rebellious bon vivants and their odd lifestyle...
The sensational follow-up to "London in the Raw," "Primitive London" sets out to reflect society's decay through a sideshow spectacle of 1960s London depravity—and manages to outdo its predecessor. Here, we confront mods, rockers and beatniks at the Ace Café, cut some rug with obscure beat band The Zephyrs, smirk at flabby men in the sauna and goggle at sordid wife-swapping parties as we discover a pre-permissive Britain still trying to move on from the post-war depression of the 1950s.
