About Paul Bowles - The Complete Outsider
Filmed in Morocco and featuring exclusive interviews with cultural icons such as Allen Ginsberg, PAUL BOWLES: THE COMPLETE OUTSIDER explores the esoteric life of the man who wrote the 'The Sheltering Sky', one of the most provocative and influential novels of the 20th century. Bowles led an enigmatic existence in harsh but beautiful Morocco. He became an icon to the Beat Generation and influenced a generation of artists-- from Ginsberg and William Burroughs to David Cronenberg and Bernardo Bertolucci. The film explores his development as a novelist and composer, his marriage to writer Jane Bowles, and his ambiguous sexuality. In a series of intimate conversations, Bowles speaks candidly about his writing, his music, his use of drugs and his array of friends-- including W.H. Auden, Tennessee Williams, Aaron Copland, Gertrude Stein, and Allen Ginsberg. Interwoven with rare archival footage, photos and interviews, PAUL BOWLES: THE COMPLETE OUTSIDER reveals a man who has always made his own rules.
