Giovane bibliotecaria è lanciata come modella grazie a un fotografo di moda, di lei innamorato, che deve staccarla da un rivale, filosofo "enfaticalista". Quasi un canto del cigno, o un passo d'addio del grande F. Astaire, non lontano dai 60 anni ma ancor agile di gambe. Squisita messa in scena, sostenuta da una fotografia che ebbe la supervisione del celebre Richard Avedon e da una A. Hepburn vestita da Givenchy. Le canzoni di George e Ira Gershwin completano il bilancio al cui passivo vanno la storia troppo zuccherosa e i dialoghi senza sale.
Pofeta, cantastorie, contestatore. Anticonformista, folle, genio assoluto del novecento. Io non sono qui è un viaggio nel tempo di Bob Dylan, attraverso il ritratto di sei personaggi - colti ognuno in un aspetto diverso della vita artistica e privata del menestrello americano - che intrecciano le loro storie di protesta, disagio, erranza e solitudine in una performance evocativa diretta da Todd Haynes. Anche stavolta, in un'ambientazione che riecheggia gli anni sessanta - avvicinandosi con forza alle tematiche dei suoi film più noti come Lontano dal paradiso e Velvet Goldmine - il regista americano sperimenta una narrazione frammentata e psichedelica, utilizzando sei diversi stili di regia all'interno di ogni microcosmo narrativo.

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.
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.
