Barney's Wall
What leaves a rebel? This 78 minute documentary probes the psyche of bad-boy publisher and free speech warrior Barney Rosset, whose mid-century legal and cultural battles ravaged political and sexual taboos from the usa -- unleashing the counter-culture of their 1960s and introducing millions of younger intellectuals into the most radical currents in literature, film, theater and politics. Inside his late eighties, coming to terms with his life, Barney Rosset began to obsessively sculpt an autobiographical 15? x 22? surreal wall mural, embedded with jewel-like vignettes crafted out of discovered items, every a hint into the battles and obsessions that drove Barney's lifetime rebellion against authority. A throw of a shaman, a neurologist, and artists join the clues and piece together Barney's life.
