The Anarchist Cookbook is a 2002 black comedy film directed by Jordan Susman. The movie is about a young honors student-turned-anarchist, Puck , and his group of anarchist friends living peacefully in a Dallas commune until a nihilist, Johnny Black , appears with The Anarchist Cookbook and completely destroys their way of life. The movie was heavily criticized by anarchists for its poor presentation of anarchist theory, philosophy, and ethics, which they felt amounted to anti-anarchist propaganda. The story is narrated by the protagonist, Puck , who begins with a monologue describing the... basic reasoning underlying his philosophy, as well as the movie's general interpretation of Anarchism, as he walks through the commune he lives in, while events of his daily life are presented.
