Kurt Vonnegut: Unstuck in Time

Young filmmaker Robert Weide met Vonnegut in 1982 after writing him a fan letter and pitching the idea of a documentary. Weide and Vonnegut regularly met for filmed discussions and became close friends before Vonnegut died in 2007. Fourteen years later, Weide (alongside co-director Don Argott) has edited his raw footage and rare archival material into a deeply personal and revealing portrait of a man who attained rock star-like status at 47 before falling from favour and rising again. Adopting a non-linear approach echoing Billy Pilgrim’s time-travelling adventures in Slaughterhouse Five, Unstuck is an incisive and touching tribute to one of the 20th century’s most brilliant voices. And so it goes.
