Cathy Cook's mesmerizing, impressionistic biopic about 20th-century Wisconsin poet Lorine Niedecker is a musical visual poem all its own. Niedecker (1903-1970) spent most of her life living alone in rural Wisconsin, with her brain poured into books, all her sense attuned to the world around her, and her mind crafting shortly, gorgeous realized poetry about a place. An excellent marriage of form and subject.
