Synopsis
John Updike 's new book, 'Rabbit is Rich', is the third in the Rabbit series from the author of 'Rabbit, Run', 'Couples' and 'The Coup'. At 50, Updike is at the height of his powers and reputation. His novels amount to a chronicle of Middle America in the liberated and disillusioned post-Kennedy years. Art, sex and religion - he has described these as "the Three Great Secret Things," and in this film, the first full-length study of Updike, he looks at his own life and art in the light of his strictly religious Pennsylvania past, and wonders about the drives that make Rabbit run.
