Cinematheque: Premiere Showcase

An invaluable window into the artistic process of a world-class painter, the film delivers on the enticing promise of its title. The master painstakingly creates large abstract paintings from start-to-finish, frequently squeegeeing over the previous day’s work in pursuit of his elusive vision. Equally amazing are the insightful interviews that director Corinna Belz is able to elicit from this legendarily thorny personality. (Blu-ray, 97min, in German with subtitles.)
