Movie Info

Based on the play written by Israel's most celebrated playwright, Hanoch Levin, the libretto portrays the hopes and dreams of children in search of freedom and peace. (c)First Run Features

This repetitive documentary from Lisa Kirk Colburn banally strings Gottfried Helnwein's musings together with creative wrangles ...
Top CriticThanks, Gottfried, but exploitation does not equal art.
It reduces Helnwein to simply being a determined, intransigent creative type.
Suffers some dramatic slackness from the inevitable drawing board tedium of performance preparation.
A lack of focus and a meandering approach afflict this study of an artist at work.
Much of the doc plays like a moderately well produced but tediously uncritical making-of feature that could easily have been included on the opera's DVD release.
