This 21-minute documentary film on the life and death of the celebrated Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas, is made from still photographs and, in part, from Thomas’ own recorded voice.

Based on the photographs of Rollie McKenna with contributing photographs by other American and British photographers, it is an excellent companion to the pictorial biography, The Days of Dylan Thomas, by Bill Read and Rollie McKenna.

McKenna’s film on the life and poetry of Dylan Thomas is made from photographs of deceptive serenity, skillfully woven with a lean narration which includes some of the Welsh poet’s own words. These elements are integrated with a music score of considerable distinction and discretion. The result is a moving cinematic experience which honors the poet with dignity and affection.

An uncanny portrait of the poet comes off the screen—charming, gifted, beset by disquietude, driven to wild hilarity and clowning, burdened by the cares of living. Selections from his work, spoken by Dylan Thomas himself with his own Welsh magic, are alternately passionate, gentle, desperate, soaring. Together with the images of great beauty and revelation, the effect is a low-keyed unremitting tension. Dylan Thomas is quite simply unforgettable.
