A Poem Is a Naked Person
''A Poem Is A Naked Person'' is a film directed by Les Blank, filmed in 1972-1974 but not publicly released until 2015, after Blank's death. The film is a documentary about musician Leon Russell, produced and financed largely by Russell and his then-business partner Denny Cordell. Blank spent a large portion of two years on the film, but then its release was delayed for forty years due to creative differences and music clearance problems. Blank's son, Harrod Blank (who was a child when the movie was filmed), spent years working on the clearances, before it was finally shown publicly in 2015.〔Daniel Eagan, ("Back Home: Les Blank's A Poem Is A Naked Person" ), ''Film Comment'', March 16, 2015.〕
==Production==
Blank and his assistant Maureen Gosling spent extensive time with Russell at his recording studio on Grand Lake in Oklahoma. Blank shot many hours of footage for the film, including the expected concerts, rehearsals, and interviews, but also atmospheric material intended to capture the mood and surroundings, later described by Harrod Blank as "what he () was attracted to: lake footage, sunsets, beautiful women, eccentric characters, Oklahoma folk." A portion of the film depicted underground artist Jim Franklin painting a mural in Russell's empty swimming pool. The result was an untraditional film whose fate became even more uncertain after Russell and Cordell terminated their business relationship in 1976.〔〔Jerry Wofford, ("Leon Russell documentary 'A Poem is a Naked Person' makes debut at South by Southwest festival" ), ''Tulsa World'', March 23, 2015.〕
For many years, ''A Poem Is A Naked Person'' was shown only at special screenings with Les Blank in attendance.〔Lars Nilsen, ("Counterculture Time Capsule: Forty years later, Les Blank's Leon Russell rock doc sees the light of day" ), ''Austin Chronicle'', March 13, 2015.〕〔Jonathan Marlow, ("The Art of Filmmaking: Les Blank" ), Fandor, December 2, 2014.〕 In 2011 Russell told ''Billboard'' that he didn't like the film, and didn't intend to release it.〔Phil Gallo, ("Leon Russell Hits the Road After 'Union' Success" ), ''Billboard'', April 11, 2011.〕 Also in 2011, when the International Documentary Association honored Blank with a career achievement award, the film was described as "perhaps the greatest film about rock 'n' roll and American music that you will likely never see".〔Taylor Segrest, ("2011 Career Achievement Award--Visionary Wayfarer: Les Blank" ), ''Documentary Magazine'', Winter 2012.〕 The film finally received its public premiere (with Russell in the audience) in March 2015 at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, prior to theatrical and DVD release.〔
