The Source (1999 film)
The Source is a 1999 documentary film directed by Chuck Workman.[1]
Summary
The film is about the Beat Generation and its impact on the counterculture movements from the 1960s-70s onwards[2]and features appearances by Johnny Depp, Dennis Hopper, and John Turturro each reciting one writer's work (as with Turturro reciting Howl) to another.[3]
Reception
The film received positive acclaim with an 88% on Rotten Tomatoes.[4]
Gary Morris of Bright Lights Journal, however, states that the "intriguing yet shallow" documentary is less a linear biography of the movement than a kind of "Beat chic" sampler.[5]
