The Source (1999)
Retrace les Beats depuis la rencontre d'Allen Ginsberg et Jack Kerouac en 1944 à l'Université de Columbia jusqu'à la mort de Ginsberg et William S. Burroughs en 1997. Trois acteurs proposent des interprétations dramatiques du travail de ces trois écrivains, et le film relate leurs amitiés, leur arrivée dans la conscience américaine, leurs voyages, les parodies fréquentes, la mort de Kerouac et la politisation de Ginsberg. Leur mouvement se connecte au bebop, à la musique de John Cage, à l'expressionnisme abstrait et au théâtre vivant. Dans des interviews récentes, Ginsberg, Burroughs, Kesey, Ferlinghetti, Mailer, Jerry Garcia, Tom Hayden, Gary Snyder, Ed Sanders et d'autres mesurent la signification et l'impact des Beats.
