Review For Ferlinghetti A Rebirth of Wonder
His contribution to the culture of American letters is undeniable, and City Lights -- the store and the imprint -- could well be the closest thing to a literary shrine that we possess. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor With Americans' civil liberties under constant threat, it's comforting to know that Ferlinghetti is still with us. V.A. Musetto-New York Post This biography is often effusive in its praise, but some lives and legacies were meant for a tribute. Daniel M. Gold-New York Times Sadly, the film gets mired in traditionalism, something the man himself always railed against. Joe Neumaier-New York Daily News This affectionate documentary doesn't do full justice to its important subject. Frank Scheck-Hollywood Reporter A loving tribute to a man who taught my generation to worship art rather than mammon. Louis Proyect-rec.arts.movies.reviews Christopher Felver is too reverent to properly convey the invigoratingly profane, angry messiness of the sense of community that Lawrence Ferlinghetti and his peers too briefly brought to life. Chuck Bowen-Slant Magazine Loving documentary about one of the greatest, and still wonderfully extant, poetic and political forces of our time. David Noh-Film Journal International A tribute to poet and publisher Lawrence Ferlinghetti as a creator and nurturer of wonder. Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice Explores what exactly people have been hungry for that the poet has touched in them for over half a century, and fed their souls. And whether or not this filmmaker's quest has perhaps unleashed his inner stalker. At least according to Ferlinghetti. Prairie Miller-WBAI Radio
