The last thing you want in a film about the sui generis jazz musician Rahsaan Roland Kirk is a dry, academic chronology of his life and accomplishments. Thankfully, Adam Kahan's The Case of the Three Sided Dream avoids that approach. There are no album-by-album summaries or stuffy assessments of Kirk's various phases by critics like Nat Hentoff or Stanley Crouch (not that I would mind the latter). Instead, Kahan combines traditional tropes like talking-head testimonials and reminiscences with archival video footage of Kirk in action and being interviewed along with eccentric animated sequences.
