In "Philip Roth: Unmasked", the American literary giant opens up in candid interviews, sharing insights into his upbringing, influences and writing process. From his humorous yet incendiary early successes like "Goodbye, Columbus" and "Portnoy's Complaint" to his more provocative explorations of Judaism, sex and identity, Nathan Englander among others sheds light on the complex figure behind Zuckerman's adventures. With a wealth of perspectives from literary friends and admirers including Jonathan Franzen, Mia Farrow, and Nicole Krauss, this film offers an intimate portrait of Roth as both genius and provocateur.
