One cannot judge a film properly by its trailer, but this makes it look more like an infantile farce, a slanderous lampoon, than a documentary on of one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century...Burgess wasn't kidding about being neither understood nor respected by his insular countrymen. He was one of the last humanists, a man of true culture who was unafraid of standing up for it in the face of the braying ignorant masses, and his memory warrants greater respect than is shown here.
@bodikins This project was done in collaboration with the International Anthony Burgess Foundation and the biographer Andrew Biswell. It isn't infantile. It's a fresh way of looking at the work and life of yes, one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century.
