The Party in Taylor Mead's Kitchen

Directed by Jeffrey Wengrofsky

Taylor Mead personified Beatnik in Ron Rice’s classic The Flower Thief in 1960 and has since appeared in scores of films. Fifty-one years later, The Party in Taylor Mead’s Kitchen finds Taylor still living the life of the bohemian, devoted to poetry, painting, partying, acting, homo-eroticism, gossip, and indifference to bourgeois notions of hygiene. The Party in Taylor Mead’s Kitchen offers, in stark and humorous relief, the contrasting romantic beauty and squalid dereliction of la vie boheme.
