Paul Bowles: The Cage Door Is Always Open (2013)

Paul Bowles, the American composer and author, possessed considerable charisma and influence. His 1949 move to Tangier, Morocco, drew a global following to the mysterious city. Bowles' marriage to fellow author Jane Bowles was a deep connection built on contrasting personalities, despite both being gay. Drawing on exclusive interviews with Bowles conducted near the end of his life, combined with stories from his friends and colleagues, the film explores a bold and imaginative life and a relationship defined by a profound mutual reliance that extended beyond intimacy.
