Ken Burns, Lynn Novick Take on Ernest Hemingway
The Guardian recently published an article on the upcoming release of Hemingway.
In the article, Ken Burns and Lynn Novick (co-directors of Hemingway) break down the complexity of their main subject, while meditating on a variety of negative perceptions about the award-winning author.
Of Hemingway, Burns said, “as we often find with great artists, there is this terrible price to pay among those closest to that person and among the outer circle and, of course, most notably to one’s self.”
Lynn Novick said, “[I] felt pretty clear that I didn’t like Hemingway the man and that I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel spending six hours with him as a viewer … and yet at the end, I think we have tried to get under his skin.”
