‘The Happy Poet’ shows the poetry of putting your heart, soul, and last few dollars into a dream (opening today @reRun)

September 17th, 2010 by gothamfilm received 52 Comments »


An out of work poet decides to go on a mission against fast food. In today’s world, that’s about as heroic as you can get. Bill, played by Paul Gordon, puts everything he has into an all-organic mostly-vegetarian food stand. However, he lacks the business savvy to be a successful micro-business owner and runs into several hurdles along the way. In today’s mechanical world, “The Happy Poet” defends the quest for meaning in life. The has yet to be reviewed by many critics, but initial reactions have praised the film’s deadpan delivery.

The consistent comic tone of those earlier scenes – a gentle squirm – makes The Happy Poet a promising debut. (NY Times)

Gordon knows how to compose a shot, not in any virtuoso style, but carefully enough that many of his scenes attain a roughly handsome beauty. The message and story, aside from some hurried third-act resolution, match this intelligent carefulness. (Slant Magazine)

Opening today at the reRun Gastropub Theater in downtown Brooklyn.
