Summary:
KURT VONNEGUT: UNSTUCK IN TIME is a dazzling, worthy tribute to Vonnegut and a compelling introduction for the uninitiated. The feature documentary is a deep, immersive dive into the author's upbringing and his creative output. It spans his childhood in Indianapolis, his experience as a Prisoner of War in World War II, his mariage and family life, his early creers as a publicist for General Electric and a car salesman, and his long years as a struggling writer, leading to eventual superstardom in 1969 following the publication of his lightning-bold anti-war novel, Slaughterhouse-Five. The film begins in 1982 when young fledging filmmaker Robert Weird (Curb Your Enthusiasm) writes a letter to his literary idol proposing a documentary on Vonnegeut's life and work. Shooting began in 1988, and the resulitng film, co-directed by Don Argott (Art of the Steal) reflects the friendship and bond Weide and Vonnegut formed over decaded. KURT VONNEGUT; UNSTUCK IN TIME is first and foremost a biography of a beloved American author, but it also documents a filmmaker's odyssey as he examines the impact of a writer's legacy on his own life, extending far beyond the printed page.
