... this art-fully fractured film is more interested in his enduring artistic impulses than in any clichd "testament to the human spirit". Go to Full Review Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone TheMovieChicks.com 07/09/2007

Erick 11/07/2022 Not soo good, but director tryes. See more 08/26/2013 The narration by de Montalembert is mesmerizing, but the visual aspects are sometimes jarring and oftentimes don't enhance the narrative. See more 05/02/2013 De Montalembert's words and the way that he expresses his emotions in recalling events in his life pre and post sight are captivating enough. Gary Tam has gone to great lengths to give us something visually intriguing to contemplate as we hear those words. See more 11/20/2012 A compelling insight into the blind artist's new vision of the world, with some equally compelling visuals and music from the director. See more 11/17/2010 This documentary is about a French painter who lost his eyesight when he was attacked in his apartment in NY City during a robbery attempt. He took a very positive attitude towards his blindness which he tells us about in this movie. The video images that accompany his narration are interesting, but sometimes a bit maddening for me. Four stars. See more 10/16/2010 What is it to see after you lost your sight? What is it to still watch a film long after it had ended. The visual chain is mesmerising. It's like being in a cinema with a blind person and knowing what she or he sees. See more Read all reviews
