Kimmelman
released a film he's hoped to make for many years, Hot
Afternoons Have Been in Montana, a visualization of the 1925
Nation
prize poem by Eli Siegel. Historian Howard Zinn said of it: Ken
Kimmelman's reproduction, on film, of Eli Siegel's magisterial poem, is
an
extraordinary achievement. It matches, in its visual beauty, the
elegance
of Siegel's words, and adds the dimension of stunning imagery to
an
already profound work of art.
