The Reenactments

Nick Flynn

4.9/5 (26141 ratings)

Description:For Nick Flynn, that game we all play—the who-would-play-you-in-the-movie-of-your-life game—has been answered. The Reenactments is the story of adapting Flynn's memoir, Another Bullshit Night in Suck City, into a film called Being Flynn. It is also a searing meditation on consciousness, representation, and grief. Flynn describes the surreal experience of being on set during the reenactments of the central events of his life: his father s long run of homelessness and the suicide of his mother. He tells the story of Robert De Niro's first meeting with his father in Boston and of watching Julianne Moore attempt to throw herself into the sea. Expanding on the themes raised by these reenactments, Flynn weaves in meditations on the enigmatic Glass Flowers exhibition at Harvard University, alongside Ramachandran's experiments with sufferers of phantom limb syndrome, to create a compelling argument about the eternal nature of grief.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
