This film is more than a documentary and more than a live memorial concert. It is a profoundly moving experience, the story of a musical family and how their love and expression of music bound them together throughout the exhilarating and trying ups and downs of their lives. Though centered on the life and music of singer/songwriter Kate McGarrigle, it also covers her children, Martha and Rufus Wainwright, their father Loudon Wainwright III, and Kate's sister Anna. The live performances of such classic McGarrigle songs as Heart Like A Wheel, Talk to Me of Mendocino, and The Work Song are lovingly shot with emphasis of the close relationships on the singers and their love for Kate McGarrigle's words, music and life. An intensely involving and deeply emotional expression of creative beauty.

I LOVE this movie. When it first came out I immediately wanted to take it home! I did, and now 20 years later it has never let me down. Laugh, cry, dance and sing along. One of the BEST musicals ever made. This movie cannot be defined or described, it can only be EXPERIENCED! Are YOU experienced? Thank you, Jimi, you would have loved this film, if you had only stuck around. SEE what you MISSED! Rated an explosive 10,000 out of 10 stars. If all modern movies were this funny and timelessly teenage, we would still have drive-in movie theaters nationwide. People would honk their car horns and flash their spotlights at the main title. On the drive-in HILARITY AND MAKE-OUT SCALE, THIS MOVIE IS TEN FRONT BENCH SEATS OUT OF TEN!

From his earliest pranks in the sleepy SoCal suburb of Lemon Grove to days with Charles Manson and nights with Anton LaVey in San Francisco, to his penultimate glory on stage, TV, and talk radio while reinforcing his bunker in the American heartland of Denver... this is the ONLY total view of the entire life of artist BOYD RICE and his band NON. ICONOCLAST by Larry Wessel, a bullet train packed with fifty years of dynamite underground culture... hidden from view until NOW. Why is the most dangerous artist in America living in a bunker buried deep in aNONymity?? Why has his face been so successfully screened from view that the protesters picketing him, don't recognize Boyd Rice when they are speaking directly to him? Why are his pioneering electronic and metal experimental recordings held under the radar, while his followers have been granted access to the mainstream. Get the FULL story in ICONOCLAST!
