01/27/2010 well, this guy was definitely interesting and this was at time entertaining to watch... mainly to see the influence of his impact on the downtown scene, including Warhol... See more 10/27/2009 All my old art school buds should see this. Absolutely fantastic portrait of an artist who refused to make art that was for commercial consumption or collection by wealthy elites. Warhol stole everything from him. Considering he never "finished" a single film after his first was banned in the USA the director does an amazing job of assembling footage form all his films and adding it a soundtrack of music and voice-over that is just as compelling as the images you are seeing. Really good stuff, beautiful use of color! See more 08/28/2009 Now I'll definitely have to check out some Jack Smith. He seems kind of like the American Paradjanov. See more 12/31/2008 Totally crazy... but it explains what being outside the system is really about. I think I hadn't ever understood underground film until I watched this. See more 12/21/2008 Interesting doc on experimental filmmaker Jack Smith. It does make me want to see some of his work... but I don't think I'd have him over for Xmas dinner though. See more 09/30/2008 I loved learning about this fantastic man who influenced Andy Warhol, John Waters the Kuchar Brothers and many others. See more Read all reviews
