No More to Say & Nothing to Weep For: An Elegy for Allen Ginsberg
Witness the last days of the Beat poet whose works would capture the very essence of the 1960 counter-cultural movement in an informative documentary featuring Allan Ginsberg's final television interview as well as remarkable deathbed footage shot by underground cinema icon Jonas Mekas. Previously unreleased footage of Ginsberg performing with Paul McCartney is also included, as are interviews with Dick Cavett and William Buckley, and the heartfelt memorial service in which Patti Smith bid her old friend a particularly poignant farewell.
