Description:
This Oscar-nominated documentary explores Malcolm Lowry, the acclaimed author of the 20th-century novel *Under the Volcano*. While Lowry achieved literary success, he struggled with alcoholism. Filmed in four countries, the documentary uses photographs, readings from the novel by Richard Burton, and interviews with those who knew him – both admirers and detractors – to offer a detailed look at his life.
