Awesome review. This will probably be an eventual purchase for me. If for no other reason the rare Ginsberg footage. Those kind of extras are invaluable. I don't completely buy the idea of trysts with Neal Cassady.In the footage I've seen of the two together Neal doesn't seem to like Ginsberg very much. You never know though.
Thanks a million, Benway.
I'd be very surprised if Ginsberg aficionados don't love this package. It really feels like it was made for them-by them.
The film very much portrays Cassady as the dashing rogue, perhaps more in keeping with Ginsberg's vision of him than his actual self, so it felt convincing within that context.
