Synopsis

Far Out Isn’t Far Enough tracks the expansive life and prolific career of the subversive Alsatian artist Tomi Ungerer. Coming of age under the German occupation of France in World War II, Ungerer went on to produce some of the most iconic imagery in a multitude of artistic genres in mid-20th century America. Yet the same factors that vaulted him to meteoric success - fearless creativity, absolute outspokenness, fierce independence - also made him a lightning rod for controversy and the object of intense malice.

Le documentaire suit l’artiste Friedensreich Hundertwasser et présente sa manière de travailler, ses partis pris artistiques et ses convictions personnelles. Au début du film, Hundertwasser est étendu sur un bloc de glace, près de son moulin dans la région de Waldviertel, à Vienne. De l’eau coule sous la glace et Hundertwasser confie être fasciné par cet élément de la nature. Il s’est d’ailleurs acheté un bateau trois années auparavant et l’a baptisé Regentag. Son souhait est de se retirer sur l’eau à bord de ce bateau.

The documentary begins by showcasing a process by which a wall, 5 feet (1.5 m) high by 60 feet (18 m) wide, of a newly developed building in Santiniketan would be decorated by 20 murals designed by Benode Behari Mukherjee. While the narrator (Satyajit Ray) describes Mukherjee's family, Mukherjee himself explains the process of mural making and how he spends most of his time alone in Santiniketan with his favourite drink, tea. Mukherjee, the youngest child of his family among six children, is shown spending his initial days as a student in Santiniketan with his drawings and paintings. He was a student of Nandalal Bose, another acclaimed painter from Santiniketan. The film mentions Bose's influence of Mukherjee's initial work with his own "striking" originality.
