    Truly, thank you so much for making this film available.
    Such a delicate and quietly amusing film, too… right on the cusp of portrait, document, fiction and essay.
    a film about light

    One of the best , maybe the best, films about an artist and specifically about painters, of one of the greatest painters alive today by one of the great film makers. Thankyou
