Meeting Mr. Crisp

About This Movie

So, Meeting Mr. Crisp is this fascinating documentary that captures a moment in time, really. You’ve got Tim Fountain and Bette Bourne just sitting down with Quentin Crisp in his chaotic New York apartment. The atmosphere is thick with nostalgia and a sense of impending loss since this was one of Crisp's last interviews before his passing. The pacing is quite deliberate, allowing you to really soak in the man's personality and wit. It's not just about his life, but how he reflects on the world around him. The performances feel raw and genuine, almost intimate, as you feel the weight of his experiences. It's distinctive for how it blends personal history with broader themes of identity and art. Definitely worth a look if you're into that era.
