🎬 Title: Algren

Story: Algren will spotlight the hard-knock life and authentic creative legacy of one of the most underrated writers of the twentieth century, Nelson Algren. Algren's brutally honest portrayal of the American underclass and his hard-nosed lifestyle became his pathway to compassion. Through interviews with Algren contemporaries, experts, and "literary soulmates," as well as through the photography of Algren's friends, Art Shay and Stephen Deutch, the film will tell his story. It will celebrate his tremendous contribution to and influence on American letters, and push Algren, champion of the marginalized, out from the margins.

Editor’s note: A brief editor’s note on Algren (2021): Firmly a Documentary piece, but with a personal touch. Under Michael Caplan’s direction, the film keeps a steady rhythm and a clear sense of place. Nelson Algren, Russell Banks, Billy Corgan anchor the film with grounded, unshowy work. At 1h 25m, it moves with a measured pace and rarely overstays a scene. Reception is mixed; approach it for mood and atmosphere. If the premise speaks to you, put it on your list.
