Bob Dylan (Christian Bale / Cate Blanchett / Heath Ledger / Marcus Carl Franklin / Richard Gere / Ben Whishaw), ícone musical, poeta e porta-voz de uma geração.

Musicalmente, fisicamente, psicologicamente, as alterações do seu personagem público dialogaram com acontecimentos sociais e ocasionaram múltiplas repercussões culturais. De jovem menestrel a profeta folk, de poeta moderno a roqueiro, de ícone da contracultura a cristão renascido, de caubói solitário a popstar.

Flying Saucer Rock N Roll is the debut feature film from the father-son duo Eric and Joe Callero. The year is 1957 as a group of rockabilly and beatnik teens are visited by weed smoking Martian zombies who have come to take their earth women. Filmed with respect for classic horror films and full of laughs as the viewer is taken on an adventure like no other.
The poet and painter, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, is among the world's living monuments to arts and letters. For well over a half century, Ferlinghetti helped shape the currents of poetry and literature with his forceful engagement with society and an ideological position that often found him at odds with the political currents of his day. Ferlinghetti's quiet, behind the scenes demeanor and disarming mien may have assuaged, or even fooled, certain opponents, while in reality he was a literary mercenary, a rebel at the forefront of our own cultural revolution.
This once controversial British movie that was filmed in ‘62 but released in ‘65 involves the fiancé of a depressed American heiress searching for her whereabouts amongst the Chelsea “beatnik” scene. Answers are hard to come by from the nihilistic hedonist youth that know her - but they provide mysterious hints to wild parties, sex, death and necrophilia.
A rare beatnik artifact of the early 1960s, one of only a few such films made before the hippies took over Hollywood. Low budget and in b&w, it's set in Greenwich Village, with what seems like a mostly improvised script. It begins as a late film noir crime tale involving a bank robbery where only one of a group of thieves escapes with his life, as well as $90,000 in loot. Injured and on the run, he hides in a local tour bus and is soon taken in by a group of bohemians who shoot him full of morphine to ease his pain and let him sleep it off on a mattress. Mason is the head beatnik. There's also the owner of both an upstairs coffeehouse and garret, where these beatniks hang out. They, in turn, bring the tourist trade in. Although the robbery is supposed to be the main focus of the plot, it quickly turns into more of a character study featuring these rebellious bon vivants and their odd lifestyle...
Three beatniks are brought together to rob an armored car, only to face betrayal from amongst their ranks.
Two beatniks get their kicks by dealing drugs and violence.
The sensational follow-up to "London in the Raw," "Primitive London" sets out to reflect society's decay through a sideshow spectacle of 1960s London depravity—and manages to outdo its predecessor. Here, we confront mods, rockers and beatniks at the Ace Café, cut some rug with obscure beat band The Zephyrs, smirk at flabby men in the sauna and goggle at sordid wife-swapping parties as we discover a pre-permissive Britain still trying to move on from the post-war depression of the 1950s.
A square rich boy wants to make it with a pretty folk singer, so he buys the coffee house where she and a bunch of other beatniks perform. Features performances by The Goldebriars, The Free Wheelers, and a very young Joan Rivers doing a stand-up routine.
A young singer's chance at fame is threatened by his hoodlum pals.
nesta versão do livro clássico, a tripulação faz um novo ponto de vista dos sons desta grande peça literária.
Witness the last days of the Beat poet whose works would capture the very essence of the 1960 counter-cultural movement in an informative documentary featuring Allan Ginsburg's final television interview as well as remarkable deathbed footage shot by underground cinema icon Jonas Mekas.
