Note:"Walker Percy was one of the most influential American writers and philosophers of the 20th century. He is best known for his first novel, The Moviegoer, which won the National Book Award in 1962. [This] film follows Percy's life from his youth in Alabama -- where he was first confronted by his family's history of depression -- to his prolonged hospitalizations for tuberculosis, and his eventual success as a novelist. Interviewees discuss Walker's thoughts on faith, philosophy, and literature. The film also looks at the influence of William Alexander Percy, and Walker's life-long friendship with Civil War historian Shelby Foote. Insight into this profoundly philosophical novelist's life come from Bertram Wyatt-Brown, Robert Coles, Tom Cowan, Paul Elie, Rhonda Faust, Richard Ford, Linda Whitney Hobson, Walter Isaacson, Bunt Percy, Phin Percy, Ben C. Toledano, Marcus Smith, and Jay Tolson. The film also makes use of archival interviews with Percy as well as home movie footage of the author." -- Container
