CGiii Comment
Nearly 40 years after his death...comes this testament to his forgotten 'genius'.
90 minutes of complimentary talking heads, haphazard archives and an awful soundtrack.
A typical one-sided documentary with less structure than a Lego house. Decorated with pseudo intellectuals - who are as welcoming as decomposed fish innards lying on a table with missing metaphysical legs...
Unless you like Goodman and have read Growing Up Absurd...this film will do absolutely nothing to entice you.
It took 40 years after his death...not exactly a popular subject.

Paul Goodman, whose best-selling 'Growing Up Absurd' made him the philosopher of the New Left in the 1960s, was also a brilliant poet, out queer (and family man) in the 1940s, radical pacifist and visionary. His ideas and stubborn integrity helped many find a moral compass in the '60's -- and can do so again today.
