Reed—all about it! Though more than a century old, Reed College has basically bottled and preserved the Mill Valley of 1968—not Berkeley— and the southeast Portland institution has remained unchanged ever since. A “labyrinth of post adolescent mysticism” (to quote Knitted caps and cellophane body armor are part of the unofficial Time’s profile of Steve Jobs) dress code at Reed College. fomenting with radical ideas, Reed is home to food-scrounging students, coed bathrooms, atheist communism and hallucinogens, thrift-shop fashion and free love, not to mention the toughest academics in the nation. I count my years there the best and worst of my life, and always hoped that one of its carpenter grads would get it together enough to make a filmic memoir of this ultra-cinematic school. Well the day has come and BLUE LIKE JAZZ, a hilarious and heartfelt film in its own right, arrives on DVD shelves sporting—gasp!—a Christian theme. Marshall Allman stars as a disillusioned high schooler who flees his Texas Baptist future for a shot at “the most godless school in the world.” Culture shock meets the blossoming thrill of intellectual freedom, but new friends advise him to keep his religious notions—past and present—deep in the closet. Based on the bestselling memoir by Donald Miller, this one’s not to be missed. —Richard Gould
