Monday-Wednesday, April 5-7, 8:00 and 10:00 pm He was brilliant, ambitious, charismatic and complicated – and one of the greatest and most influential writers America has ever produced.
HEMINGWAY, A THREE-PART, SIX-HOUR DOCUMENTARY FILM by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, examines the visionary work and the turbulent life of Ernest Hemingway. The film interweaves his eventful biography – a life lived at the treacherous nexus of art, fame, and celebrity – with carefully selected excerpts from his iconic short stories, novels and non-fiction. Also included are interviews with celebrated writers, scholars and Hemingway’s son, Patrick.
The filmmakers explore the painstaking process through which Hemingway created some of the most important works of fiction in American letters, including novels The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls and The Old Man and the Sea, several short stories, including “Hills Like White Elephants,” “Up in Michigan” and “The Snows of Kilimanjaro” as well as his nonfiction works Death in the Afternoon and A Moveable Feast.
Peter Coyote narrates the series. Voice actors include Jeff Daniels as Hemingway and Meryl Streep, Keri Russell, Mary-Louise Parker and Patricia Clarkson as Hemingway’s four wives.
The documentary paints an intimate picture of Hemingway the writer – who captured on paper the complexities of the human condition in spare and profound prose, and whose work remains deeply influential around the world – while also penetrating the myth of Hemingway the man’s man to reveal a deeply troubled and ultimately tragic figure. The film also explores Hemingway’s limitations and biases as an artist and a man of his time.
Married four times, Hemingway’s relationships with women – his mother, sisters, wives and the World War I nurse who broke his heart – profoundly affected his work. Yet for all his bravado and hyper-masculine posturing, Hemingway wrote about relationships between men and women with sensitivity, nuance and clarity. As writer Edna O’Brien says on camera, he was able to put himself “inside the skin” of the other and give voice to women’s deepest emotions. In his final years, the author suffered from chronic alcoholism, serious mental illness, traumatic brain injuries and depression. In 1961, at the age of 61, Hemingway died by suicide, leaving behind an unparalleled body of artistic work and a complicated emotional legacy for those closest to him. “In an era when Americans are re-evaluating so many icons, Hemingway is a particularly compelling figure to revisit,” said director Lynn Novick. “He was hugely complicated, deeply flawed, and he truly revolutionized the art of writing.” I
