In this definitive documentary, director Christopher Felver crafts an incisive, sharply wrought portrait that reveals Ferlinghetti's true role as catalyst for numerous literary careers and for the Beat movement itself. One-on-one interviews with Ferlinghetti, made over the course of a decade, touch upon a rich mélange of characters and events that began to unfold in postwar America. These events include the publication of Allen Ginsberg's Howl, William S. Burroughs' Naked Lunch, and Jack Kerouac's On the Road, as well as the divisive events of the Vietnam war, the sexual revolution, and this country's perilous march towards intellectual and political bankruptcy.

Review For Ferlinghetti A Rebirth of Wonder
His contribution to the culture of American letters is undeniable, and City Lights -- the store and the imprint -- could well be the closest thing to a literary shrine that we possess.Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor
With Americans' civil liberties under constant threat, it's comforting to know that Ferlinghetti is still with us.
V.A. Musetto-New York Post
This biography is often effusive in its praise, but some lives and legacies were meant for a tribute.
Daniel M. Gold-New York Times
Sadly, the film gets mired in traditionalism, something the man himself always railed against.
Joe Neumaier-New York Daily News
This affectionate documentary doesn't do full justice to its important subject.
Frank Scheck-Hollywood Reporter
Maybe it's time to mandate a preliminary aptitude test for documentarians, just to weed out the uninspired time-wasters.
Joshua Rothkopf-Time Out New York
A loving tribute to a man who taught my generation to worship art rather than mammon.
Louis Proyect-rec.arts.movies.reviews
Christopher Felver is too reverent to properly convey the invigoratingly profane, angry messiness of the sense of community that Lawrence Ferlinghetti and his peers too briefly brought to life.
Chuck Bowen-Slant Magazine
Loving documentary about one of the greatest, and still wonderfully extant, poetic and political forces of our time.
David Noh-Film Journal International
A tribute to poet and publisher Lawrence Ferlinghetti as a creator and nurturer of wonder.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice
