Not sure what to make of this one; perhaps only a curiosity. The Allen Ginsberg sections seem to date it a bit, and I can’t say that I’m exactly sure what purpose they’re serving in the film. Certainly notable for just how cruelly the “artist selling his soul to the media” is rendered, but not sure if it ultimately has much to say/show that is really compelling. Would like to see it again.
