Timothy Learys Dead

Journalizing his final year before dying of cancer in May 1996 this documentary takes a sentimental walk down memorylane to honor a man whose place in history is surely guaranteed Probably best known for his oftquoted and misunderstood 1960s phrase wherein DrLeary encouraged everyone to turn on tune in and drop out the filmmakers sought to capture the real man behind the legend voxpops with friends colleges and family pepper the storyline that madeup the multifaceted man who was author psychologist teacher guru fugitivefromjustice and dignified humorist We see him in his experimental 1960s the hippie 70s his thoughtful 80s and the futuristic 90s Overall a very satisfying documentary about this extraordinary man Ever the Professor we see his musings on life amp death and after succumbing to the inevitable we witness the somewhat macabre afterdeath cryogenic storage of his severed head for his optimistic future generations to do with what they may
