Between Time and Timbuktu - Kurt Vonnegut Jr. (1972)

submitted by doremifa

1 decade 5 years 3 months 3 weeks ago

PBS Playhouse-produced Kurt Vonnegut film, directed by Fred Barzyk. The picture quality is fair... it is only available at 2 PBS library archives (LA and NYC). There was a book published of film stills(by Jill Krementz).

Okay, my dad really liked this film and has always mentioned it... meanwhile, I have had it in the back of my head that Vonnegut himself was not too pleased with the finished film (from what he writes in "Timequake"). I'm still watching this so I have yet to make up my mind...

... this is clearly a medley of Vonnegut's writings (e.g. Cat's Cradle, Welcome to the Monkey House) and is enjoyable as a time capsule of the early 70's as well. Knowing that the written word is stronger for sure, it is still worth the opportunity to watch (especially if you are sick at home ).

Moving this video to doremifa's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
