This is Wavy Gravy, the man
Come On, Get Happy
Warning: This movie may make you like hippies!
SAINT MISBEHAVIN’: THE WAVY GRAVY
MOVIE. Directed and produced by Michelle Esrick.
87 minutes.
I
’m jaded about documentary fi lms.
Far too many of them try to force a
certain point of view, as opposed to
just informing us about the matter at hand.
It always feels a little off to walk into an
“informative” fi lm only to walk away
second-guessing everything you’ve just
“learned.” But that’s not the point of Saint
Misbehavin’: The Wavy Gravy Movie,
which tells the tale of the pop culture icon
(and consummate hippie) without quite
being a documentary, or even a biography.
It’s just a movie, man. Sit back and enjoy
the ride. I sure did.
Saint, if anything, is structured like a
long walkabout and talk with Wavy Gravy
(born Hugh Romney), a guy who regularly
does offbeat stuff and then acts as though it’s
nothing. Like dress as a clown any day of
the week. Like pray to every single form of
god known to man (Lenny Bruce and Martin
Luther King Jr. are included in that list). At
one point, Gravy goes to a Ben & Jerry’s
store and orders carton after carton of the
ice cream for a dinner. Apparently, because
he has a fl avor named after him, Gravy is
allowed free ice cream for life. Which he
milks. A lot, according to the store.
That’s the feel of the whole fi lm — on
the ground. Talking to friends and teachers
about a past time. In the mud. Running
after kids, serving food to a bunch of
shoeless folks while music plays in the
hills over yonder. The whole fi lm just sort
of bops around with this light, whimsical
air. And that’s just swell.
But the sheer amount of past footage
from Gravy’s multifaceted life is
absolutely remarkable: videos from the
“Nobody for President” campaign; black-
and-white home movies from the Hog
Farm’s Eurotrip for victims of the 1970
Bangladesh cyclone; television interviews
from across the decades. You wonder how
on earth all this footage exists — who
knew hippies had video cameras? The fi lm
is a living scrapbook, a ramblin’ journey
through this nation’s past.
But the fi lm’s real success is the
sound editing. The music fl ows through
the different scenes without any trace of
awkwardness or intrusion, and audio clips
pass over pictures without feeling too
much like a high-school kid’s Powerpoint
presentation. It’s quite a feat, considering
the number of images fading in and out.
The commentaries from Wavy and friends
prove to be a strong connecting thread, and
it keeps the rest of us from becoming too
lost in the swirl of images.
At times the fi lm borders on the edge
of preachy, like when Gravy gets excited
talking about the time he discovered the
human capacity for good while taking
LSD with the Pranksters. But the fi lm
automatically snaps back to attention,
hopping from slideshow to interview in
pursuit of Wavy Gravy. The idea is to tell his
story, plain and simple. The people in the
fi lm don’t forget that fact, so we can give
their tales about peace-love-LSD a slide.
“Everything Wavy says is true, although
it’s all unbelievable,” says spiritual guru
Ram Dass. Indeed, some of Wavy Gravy’s
antics will make you giggle. And the
idea of a guy dressing as Santa Claus or
the Easter Bunny to deter violence at a
Vietnam protest? Hilarious.
This ranks as one of the best
documentary and biographical fi lms I’ve
seen in a while, if only for the simple fact
that it doesn’t try to be either one. It has
the simple feel of a bunch of folks huddled
over a scrapbook. It’s a great summer fl ick
for just relaxing and being groovy. ew
Saint Misbehavin’: The Wavy Gravy Movie gets a pair of
extra-special screenings Thursday, July 14, at the Bijou,
which will be followed by a moderated Skype chat with
Mr. Gravy and director Michelle Esrick; for times and
more info, visit www.bijou-cinemas.com or call 686-
2458. Peace out.
