Riley) Date: Mon, 13 Sep 2010 19:21:07 +0000 Subject: [percy-l] Percy-L Digest, Vol 77, Issue 3 In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: This is exciting news, especially for those of us who are fans but never got to meet Percy--I notice from the clip that there is home-movie- style footage of Percy interacting with his family, etc. He did so many interviews but those can only hint at the personal qualities. I'm thankful for YouTube, where one can see the 1989 address at Notre Dame--a very moving and revealing (ten-minute) statement about the man and his work if you have not seen it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6jaJy3gL2I My question re. the documentary: How did the filmmaker get the cooperation of that impressive cast of people? Was it charm, money, powers of persuasion, ancestry? Mr. Riley, (we share the same last name) do you care to answer? Inquiring minds--mine at least-- would like to know. And on the subject of Percy and film, I'm reminded of passages in Tolson's biography that tell of the tortuous and ultimately fruitless attempts to translate several of the novels into film. Maybe it's the power of suggestion but I've always thought The Moviegoer had great cinematic potential. Perhaps now New Orleans Post-Katrina could be the setting for Binx's search. I think Love in the Ruins and Lancelot--told in flashback, of course--might also translate well to film. Thanks again to all those who continue to keep this list alive with your informative and timely posts.
