Been
Down So Long, It Looks Up to Me
Based on Richard Farina's
counter-culture novel of the same name,
this film stars Barry Primus as Gnossos
Pappadopoulis, a world-weary traveler who
has been on a voyage and seen many horrors
and returned a changed man. But instead
of confronting those changes and making
the injustices of his world right again,
he is reluctant to talk about what he has
seen thanks to the uptight nature of his
home surroundings.
Think The Odyssey set at a conservative
college in 1958 America and you’ll
be getting close. While it doesn't quite
capture the true revolutionary spirit of
Farina's book, it remains another important
volume in the history of counter-culture
film from the late 60's/early 70's.
