Who's Afraid of Kathy Acker? (2007)

 

A documentary on the author Kathy Acker.

Very informative and full of interesting material. I was not quite convinced whether this film could show what makes Kathy Acker tick. One can't doubt Acker's importance and her influence on present-day culture, but still her punk aesthetics felt to me somehow dated, a thing of the past.
