This
film is based on a collection of poems by CK Williams that won a Pulitzer Prize. There are eleven poems and they document a road trip through the life CK’s life. He spent his childhood and teen years in Detroit in the
1940’s and 1950’s. CK marries
Catherine and they have a son, Jed.
While driving to a reading in New York City, CK remembers the central
moments of his life. He struggles
to write new poems and this film takes us back and forth from the past to the
present.
It’s
the back and forth of this film that I don’t like. I think it’s jarring to see a scene half way into the movie
and then repeated much later again?
There is so much vagueness with no answers about any of the why of
anything? Everything has an
implied meaning but never a real meaning?
