...Wallace takes the blunt emotional starkness of the written interviews and puts them into motion on the screen in such a way that the audience can’t help but feel directly addressed by each subject. The film—a short 80-minute affair made up of strung-together interview segments—doesn’t hold very well as a narrative in its own right, but it does an elegant and powerful job of conveying the central themes of Wallace’s work: the immediacy of existence and the pure moment of visceral human reaction...

...songs. They elapse.” Though Snow preserves much of the syntax in Rilke’s original, there seems something diluted about the lines. Somehow the causal relation between the “voice” and the “mouth” is only weakly strung together by the pale “forces.” Compare these lines with the Mitchell: “…Young man, / it is not your loving, even if your mouth / was forced wide open by your own voice—learn // to forget that passionate music...

Michael Chute kindled a fire as night fell and the party was ending, and I sat down with his wife, who wore big boots and a blue bandanna that tied back long kinky hair.

Over her jungle-camo jacket she strung a bandolier that held what looked like the 7.62 mm rounds for her AK-47, the rifle she calls "my baby" because "it kicks just a little bit and has a deep sound." But there was nothing deadly about her ammo: the shell casings were affixed with pencil points. "The point...
