“Kurt Vonnegut: Unstuck in Time”
Website / Reviews
This documentary is first and foremost a biography of a beloved American author. But it also documents a filmmaker’s odyssey as he examines the impact of a writer’s legacy on his own life, extending far beyond the printed page. Examines Vonnegut’s childhood, military service, and family life, as well as his years as a struggling writer before he became a superstar in 1969 following the publication of “Slaughterhouse-Five.”
