In this definitive documentary, director Christopher Felver crafts a sharply wrought portrait that reveals Ferlinghetti's role as catalyst for numerous literary careers and for the Beat movement itself. Interviews with Ferlinghetti, made over the course of a decade, touch upon events that began to unfold in postwar America. These events include the publication of Allen Ginsberg's Howl, William S. Burroughs' Naked Lunch, and Jack Kerouac's On the Road, as well as the divisive events of the Vietnam war and the sexual revolution. Since its inception in 1953, Ferlinghetti's City Lights Bookstore quickly became an iconic literary institution that embodied social change and literary freedom. Featuring Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Allen Ginsberg, Dennis Hopper, Billy Collins, Dave Eggers, Anne Waldman, Michael McClure, Amiri Baraka, Bob Dylan, Robert Scheer, and more. 　　译文(3): 在这部权威纪录片中，导演克里斯托弗·费尔弗（Christopher Felver）精心制作了一幅肖像画，揭示了费林盖蒂作为众多文学生涯和垮掉派运动本身催化剂的作用。对费林盖蒂的采访历时十年，涉及战后美国开始发生的事件。这些事件包括艾伦·金斯伯格的《嚎叫》、威廉·s·巴勒斯的《裸午餐》和杰克·凯鲁亚克的《在路上》的出版，以及越南战争和性革命的分裂事件。自1953年成立以来，费林盖蒂的城市之光书店迅速成为一个标志性的文学机构，体现了社会变革和文学自由。包括劳伦斯·费林盖蒂、艾伦·金斯伯格、丹尼斯·霍珀、比利·柯林斯、戴夫·艾格斯、安妮·沃德曼、迈克尔·麦克卢尔、阿米里·巴拉卡、鲍勃·迪伦、罗伯特·舍尔等。
