| Summary |
This documentary reflects on Reynolds Price's 50plus years of teaching English literature and writing at Duke University. Through the eyes of colleagues, former students, his peers, and with Price's own voice, this film explores the roots, subject matter, influences, and changes in his teaching career. Fresh interviews, aided by archival film footage, demonstrate how Price's creative work and pedagogical practice compliment each other in a result that is unique and valuable for anyone who has had a great teacher...With interwoven excerpts of his own writing and conversations with other wellknown writers including Josephine Humphreys, Allan Gurganus, and William Styron a complex portrait is revealed of a man who truly loves the art of teaching. His concerns, joys, inspirations and challenges unfold as his mission is articulated in layers. Milton's poetry comes audibly to life. Price's words resonate with passion. The story is partially told from the perspective of director Wil Weldon, whose intimacy and respect for Price become clear in every turn. The resulting portrait is unique in its approach, honesty, and exploration. |
