This critically acclaimed documentary examines the life and work of Arthur Russell, an influential genre-defying gay composer-musician who died tragically in 1992. Russell was born in Iowa, classically trained as a cellist, briefly lived in San Francisco and finally settled in New York, performing highly original works that ranged from avant-garde ambient to experimental disco. With Philip Glass, and archival footage of Allen Ginsberg and David Byrne. Rotten Tomatoes rating of 100%.
