A very well made doc about a slightly obscure but worthy subject. I only know about Arthur Russell because I currently work and live in his hometown of Oskaloosa, IA---but the film made me want to check out his music---which I imagine was one of its goals.

With tenderness, [director Matt] Wolf convinces us that had Russell not died 16 years ago, heâ(TM)d be one of the culture's most fascinating and intellectually rewarding musical creatures.

The film documents Russell's progression from being an outsider in a small farming town in Iowa to being a thriving personality in New York's alternative music scene. It serves as a great introduction to both Russell's music and his history, to both casual fans and those who know nothing about him or his music. The film also dips into some of his personal struggles, such as his appearance, sexual orientation, and tendency to work constantly, culminating with his battle with AIDS, which led to his untimely demise in 1992. With more than just passing appearances from Allen Ginsberg and Philip Glass, you get a sense of just how inspiring this man was, and just how strange it is that he never achieved the cult status he has today while he was still alive.

A sweet low-key memorial of Russell, and an interesting look at the avant-garde scene he was involved with. It's funny, he lived only two blocks from me when I was younger and out and about, & seems to have worked with several people I know now, but not then. Strange sensation of watching the life of a long lost friend I never met.

a nice documentary on an eccentric musical talent as told by his parents, friends and collaborators such as Allen Ginsberg and Philip Glass, the relationship between Arthur Russell and his lover Tom Lee and the resulting outpouring of tremendous creative energy is particularly moving (30/11/2008)
