To countless avant-garde novelists, filmmakers, and playwrights, publisher Barney Rosset -- proprietor of the legendary Grove Press -- qualifies as an undisputed hero. Via scores of in-court legal battles, Rosset fought aggressively and valiantly to defend the release of works as varied as William S. Burroughs' novel Naked Lunch, Henry Miller's novel Tropic of Cancer, and Vilgot Sjöman's classic arthouse film I Am Curious (Yellow). As co-directed by Neil Ortenberg and Daniel O'Connor, the documentary Obscene builds a case not only for the idea that Rosset was utterly indispensable in the battle for freedom of speech that descended on America in the late '60s and early '70s, but that he deserves hearty praise for championing works that pushed accepted moral standards into theretofore unacceptable territory. Via a combination of extensive archival footage and interviews, Obscene traces Rosset's professional and personal life, beginning with his early years at the Parker School and Swarthmore through his involvement in the armed forces and his presence in the Manhattan avant-garde with wife Joan Mitchell during the late '40s and early '50s. The film places heaviest emphasis on (and devotes most of its screen time to) Rosset's censorship battles for various works during the mid- to late '60s, before moving into an exploration of his troubled subsequent years that were marked by financial difficulty, violent attacks from disapproving groups, government surveillance, and a host of other complications. Interviewees include Rosset, Al Goldstein, John Waters, Gore Vidal, John Sayles, and Ray Manzarek. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

New Review For Movie Obscene

The focus of Obscene remains steadfastly on the man, thanks to a rich variety of archival and interview clips that span his entire career and a slew of colleagues, fiends and enemies.
Ted Fry-Seattle Times

A compelling documentary about [Barney Rosset] directed by neophytes Neil Ortenberg and Daniel O'Connor.
V.A. Musetto-New York Post

A warm, entertaining compendium of counterculture voices (including Jim Carroll and Amiri Baraka) and literary landmarks.
Jeannette Catsoulis-New York Times

Filled with reminiscence and laughter, this lively and largely adoring documentary looks back on the life and work of Barney Rosset, best known as the longtime owner of Grove Press.
Joshua Land-Time Out New York

[A] very fine documentary.
Michelle Orange-Village Voice

Obscene, a tribute to New York publisher Barney Rosset, is an entertaining reminder of the ferocity of the culture wars of the 1950s and '60s.
Tamara Straus-San Francisco Chronicle

An entertaining and engrossing film.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews

This film is an engaging portrait of the man and a fair assessment of his achievement.
Philip French-Observer [UK]

While the filmmakers squander some excellent opportunities that might have helped to illuminate the contradictions in their subject, this remains a fascinating study of an unrepentant American maverick.
Jamie McLeish-Film4

Obscene, is melancholic. The eerie contradiction is how chirpy and cheery this remarkable activist, and self-confessed sex addict, is at more than 80 years of age.
James Christopher-Times [UK]

An entertaining docu-tribute.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK]

Brilliant social history about one of the greatest publishers of the modern epoch, even if he is "Human, All Too Human"
Louis Proyect-rec.arts.movies.reviews

With testimony from scads of heyday contributors and an infectious design reflecting Grove Press's innovative cover art ... the filmmakers could have shelved the weaker bits without missing a beat.
Matthew Sorrento-Film Threat

Rosset is a lively subject, and his interviews (over many years) provide an oral history of his life and times.
Bill White-Seattle Post-Intelligencer

... a justified tribute to [Barney] Rosset, who in his mid-80s is still feisty, with a refreshingly lighthearted attitude toward all he accomplished.
Andy Klein-Los Angeles CityBeat

Though Obscene tells the story without fully exploring its nuances, that story is both fascinating and more than a little inspiring.
Noel Murray-AV Club

The doc formally mirrors its subject in its pacing, which balances the titillation/education of the doc's subject with consistent and pleasantly teasing speed and tone from start to finish.
Sara Maria Vizcarrondo-Boxoffice Magazine

Daniel O'Connor and Neil Ortenberg's engrossing documentary about the life and times of publisher Barney Rosset, who spent much of his career advancing the cause of free expression, is a flawless match of style and subject.
Maitland McDonagh-TV Guide's Movie Guide

Those who didn't live through this period and take for granted the totality of free expression enjoyed today will have their eyes opened by this homage.
Jules Brenner-Cinema Signals

Obscene is a brief, pleasant time-killer that genially preaches to the choir yet, while it's always enjoyable, this review's readers should seek Grove books out first.
Aaron Cutler-Slant Magazine

This is the kind of art house documentary that inspires the right kind of social rebellion.
Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com
