DESCRIPTION:
(from PBS's press release, September 2020) Ernest Hemingway, the iconic literary figure considered one of the greatest American writers and among the first to live and work at the treacherous nexus of art and celebrity, is the subject of an upcoming three-part, six-hour documentary series directed by award-winning filmmakers Ken Burns and Lynn Novick (THE VIETNAM WAR, PROHIBITION, THE WAR) coming to PBS April 5-7, 2021 at 8:00 - 10:00 p.m. ET (check local listings). The documentary paints an intimate picture of Hemingway the writer - who captured on paper the complexities of the human condition in spare and profound prose, and whose work remains deeply influential around the world - while also penetrating the myth of Hemingway the man's man to reveal a deeply troubled and ultimately tragic figure. The film also explores Hemingway's limitations and biases as an artist and a man of his time. |
