A definitive film biography-- to the extent that such a thing is possible-- on that elusive and iconoclastic legend, Paul Bowles
A deeply engaging film portrait.
Elliot Stein, The Village Voice
It's terrific...like a Francis Bacon painting. It's the conversation with Paul Bowles you always wanted to have.
David Cronenberg
A rare documentary, stunningly photographed, that is a subtle and indelible portrait of that complex literary figure -- Paul Bowles.
