Title: The man just got better...
Review: Quentin Crisp was never better than in this late appearance (at 90, in January 1999, the last year of his life) for which we can thank L. Brandon Krall for having so skillfully captured in this dvd. He states his mission at the outset: to cure us of our freedom, which he eloquently and hilariously thereafter explains is the root of all anguish. The sharp Caravaggio darks and lights with which Ms. Krall dramatically frames Mr. Crisp's face photographically add to an overall sense here that we're receiving the distillation of a remarkable life, deliberately and richly offered up as his final gift to us. His grace & unsentimentality & searingly clear if provocative takes on "how to be happy" will remain with you for a very long time. Do avail yourself of it.Guy KettelhackNew York City
