The feature-length film focuses on Dick's personal mystical experiences in March, 1974 which had a profound impact on the author and his work. The Gospel According to PKD tries to find meaning in Dick's universe by speaking with Phil's old friends and colleagues as well as his admirers and fans who keep the author's legacy alive. While this is not a well crafted documentary, it is certainly worth seeing to gain a little more insight into the world of PKD. This is some of what others have said... "...affectionate and prosaic. There's so much love for (Dick) that his
fans are bound to be won over by the film." "...modest and spare...serves as an effective induction into the Dick
mind-set." "...the film's strength comes from the collective analysis of its impassioned
interviewees." |
