Full Plot Details

Crazy Wisdom is the long-awaited feature documentary to explore the life, teachings, and "crazy wisdom" of Chogyam Trungpa, Rinpoche, a pivotal figure in bringing Tibetan Buddhism to the West. Called a genius, rascal, and social visionary; 'one of the greatest spiritual teachers of the 20th century,' and 'the bad boy of Buddhism,' Trungpa defied categorization. Raised and trained in the rigorous Tibetan monastic tradition, Trungpa came to the West and shattered our preconceived notions about how an enlightened teacher should behave - he openly smoked, drank, and had intimate relations with students - yet his teachings are recognized as authentic, vast, and influential. Twenty years after his death, with unprecedented access and exclusive archival material, Crazy Wisdom looks at the man and the myths about him, and attempts to set the record straight.

Movie Reviews

New York Post - 8/10 by V.A. MusettoA documentary hardly anybody has been waiting for.
Variety - 7/10 by Dennis HarveyThe late Chogyam Trungpa's very colorful life makes for a most engaging narrative here.
Monsters and Critics - 7/10 by Ron WilkinsonWhether the viewer adheres to, or even grasps, Eastern religion, this look inside the guru entertains.
PopMatters - 7/10 by Cynthia FuchsCrazy Wisdom appears to follow Trungpa's philosophical lead, in the sense that it doesn't criticize his behaviors, though it does consider his "times."
sbs.com.au - 6/10 by Simon FosterThere is not enough balanced coverage...to afford Crazy Wisdom anything other than a perfunctory nod; it unfolds like a fan letter to a rock star, forgiving of the debauched lifestyle the star leads because they have a beautiful voice.
The Hollywood Reporter - 6/10 by Justin LoweCrazy Wisdom offers a perceptive, if one-sided, perspective on Trungpa's impact on American spirituality and the arts.
Los Angeles Times - 6/10 by Kenneth TuranDirector Johanna Demetrakas has decided to simply present the man in all his demanding complexities and let him and his encounters with associates speak for themselves. Her only rubric is the one visible in her title: "Crazy Wisdom."
Village Voice - 5/10 by Nick PinkertonIt is suggested that Trungpa was in possession of yeshe chölwa-the title's "crazy wisdom" - and, as a sort of holy fool, his apparent misbehavior could be read as a manifestation of higher spiritual truths. If you're determined to see something, it's easy to find it - so those inclined to interest in Tibetan Buddhism will discover something here.
Slant Magazine - 5/10 by Joseph Jon LanthierPart of the issue here may be the nature of the talking heads themselves, most of whom are culled from Trungpa's inner circle and lack the objectivity needed to properly judge his philosophy or make it accessible.
New York Times - 4/10 by Rachel SaltzThe movie goes mushy when it should be critical, and leaves you with questions that it's not prepared to answer.
