39 years in the making, KURT VONNEGUT: UNSTUCK IN TIME is a unique and entertaining documentary about the popular writer (SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE) who once described his books as mosaics of jokes about serious subjects. Filmmaker Robert Weide not only presents Vonnegut’s life story (often in the author’s own words) but also shows how his many years of friendship with Vonnegut affected his own life. The movie is a must-see for any fan of Kurt Vonnegut. (You can rent KURT VONNEGUT: UNSTUCK IN TIME on most streaming sites or watch it on Spectrum’s On Demand channel for $6.99.)
