I haven't seen 127 hours yet, but if James Franco gets a nomination for best actor it should probably be for this. He's great. Here we have an interview intercut with a poetry reading intercut with some neat animated segments and then through it all, the trial for obscenity.

Didn't know anything about this true story, the trial, the poetry or the man before watching, so that was interesting finding out. The poetry isn't really my thing but thankfully the animated segments give it some visual flare and the cross editing of the different times and different film stock and style kept things moving. They made a film about poetry interesting to someone who doesn't really like it, so kudos to them.
