Destroy All Rational Thought is this intriguing dive into the Beat Generation, capturing a moment in time when unconventional thinkers roamed Tangier. The pacing is a bit erratic, echoing the chaotic energy of its subjects. It’s raw and unfiltered, with a palpable atmosphere that practically drips with nostalgia. The documentary features interviews that feel almost like conversations with ghosts, particularly one of the last with Burroughs himself. You can sense the weight of history, the tension between law and freedom, as figures like Kerouac and Ginsberg explore their boundaries. The performances, or rather the presence of these literary giants, lend an authenticity that feels distinctive, a snapshot of an era that’s hard to categorize but fascinating to witness.
