Does anyone have a idea as to where I can watch this film? Also, what is your opinion of the film? Does it contain Bourgeois lies or distortions of Reed's original perspective?

You can probably find a torrent of it somewhere. It is a pretty good movie, and I can't remember who directed it, but I'm fairly sure it was someone with left-leaning politics.

It was directed by Warren Beatty, who is a left-liberal.

There are some inaccuracies, but it's overall a pretty good film (especially for something "mainstream").

I think its a great film.

Epic and moving...decent acting as well. Jack Nicolson plays a crazy Eugene O'Neill.

No, that came from Grigory Zinoviev.

I love this movie... Beatty deserves the right to kill anyone he wants, considering that he directed, starred in, and funded with his own money a great film that is sympathetic to communism during the Reagan era.

I own it but I've only watched it once. It's still a really good film, which is surprising considering it comes from America during the Reagan years.
