Based on true events, Elijah Wood stars as John Malcolm Brinnin, the New York academic who brought DyIan Thomas to America. Actor/co-writer Celyn Jones plays the volatiIe celebrity poet - tormented by anonymity, alcohol and the abyss - who scandalized the Manhattan Iiterati of the Fifties and chalIenged Brinnin's hero worship of his work. ln the face of the Welsh poet's wiIder excesses in the Big Apple - angeI, beast and madman - John has no choice but to hijack Dylan to a private retreat to get him ready for America. The days and nights that foIIow wiIl change his Iife forever.
Part literary biopic and - shot in cut-gIass black-and-white - part love-letter to the American B-movies of the Forties and Fifties, Andy Goddard's debut feature is both a character driven chamber piece and a cautionary taIe about the fIy trap of meeting your heroes. |
