About Allan ‘n Allen’s Complaint
The influence of Jewish fathers on their sons and the complexity of familial relationships are explored in a witty, poignant portrait of two artists. Beat poet Allen Ginsberg (whose father Louis was a poet in his own right) and performance artist/sculptor Allan Kaprow (whose father is a high-powered lawyer) are the sons who struggle with and against the influences of these patriarchal figures.
Directed by Nam June Paik, Shigeko Kubota, Allan ‘n Allen’s Complaint leans on a strong ensemble — Allen Ginsberg, Allan Kaprow, Peter Orlovsky — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1982.
