Me and My Brother (1969)


New Yorker Films
Directed by Robert Frank
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(Rarefilmm) 

A poet takes takes care of his schizophrenic brother after getting him released from a mental hospital. They travel with beat poet Alan Ginsberg to Kansas and then hang out in New York City. Free-form independent feature examines the nature of reality via mental illness and poetry. Christopher Walken appears as a director and Roscoe Lee Browne as a photographer. It's all terribly dated and quite precocious, but there are still some moments of insight amid the randomness.
