- PAUL GOODMAN CHANGED MY LIFE
- 2011, Jonathan Lee, USA, 89 min.
“As bluntly humanist and free-ranging as its subject.”
—Mark Holcomb, Village Voice
"Has a passionate, almost prophetic sense of the impact a writer and thinker can have on his times and the future.”
—A.O. Scott, The New York Times
In the era now so effectively romanticized by "Mad Men," one man wrote the primer for all who were coming of age feeling out of step with those buttoned-up times. He was Paul Goodman, the writer/thinker whose book "Growing Up Absurd" provided a sharp, insightful, and thoroughly prescient analysis of the regimented machinery of American society. His ideas became world-famous, but the profile of Goodman the maverick intellectual, poet, pacifist, family man, and unabashed bisexual was a story still waiting to be told. Filmmaker Lee creates a provocative definitive portrait of Goodman and his lasting legacy. HDCAM video. (BS)
