Book by Elliot Tiber (his actual alleged experiences) & Tom Monte, adapted by James Schamus into a funny and winning story in which there are no bad guys.
Demetri Martin is the enterprising young man, Imelda Staunton and Henry Goodman the parents, Jonathan Groff the charismatic organiser, Leiv (pronounced 'Leave') Schreiber making impression in drag, Eugene Levy.
Features homage split screens to Woodstock and what I can guess is a quick reference to Godard in a one minute continuous take through a traffic jam.
I'm going to revive 'Far out'. It's so old it sounds new.
Real sting in the ending though with plans of next festival, featuring the Rolling Stones...
Ph. Eric Gautier. Editor Tim Squyres (all the Ang Lees, plus Gosford Park and Syriana).
