Robert B. Weide, Don Argott | Documentary | USA | 2021 | 127m
Kurt Vonnegut: Unstuck In Time is a dazzling, worthy tribute to Vonnegut and a compelling introduction for the uninitiated. The feature documentary - the first of its kind on Vonnegut - is a deep, immersive dive into the author’s upbringing and his creative output. The film began 39 years ago when fledging filmmaker Robert Weide (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Lenny Bruce: Swear to Tell the Truth) wrote a letter to his literary idol proposing a documentary on Vonnegut’s life and work. Shooting began in 1988, and the resulting film reflects the friendship and bond Weide and Vonnegut formed over the decades. 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.
"A deftly told, multi-layered documentary that uses a unique perspective to capture the magic of Kurt Vonnegut." -Evan Dossey, Midwest Film Journal
"It's a testament to Weide's artistic integrity that Unstuck in Time remains so impartial, treating its subject with empathy and compassion, but never indulgence." -Molly Adams, In Review Online
