Plot summary

This elegantly profound documentary explores the award-winning, mystical work of American comics creator, cartoonist, and painter Jim Woodring. As an artist that has astounded the world for three decades, he has also suffered from hyper-realistic hallucinations and visions since he was a child - eventually diagnosed as autism and prosopagnosia. His artwork has been lauded and collected by cultural luminaries such as Jeff Bridges (actor), Paul Allen(co-founder, Microsoft), and filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather). Audiences both familiar and unfamiliar with Woodring’s work will be fascinated by this powerful, cinematic biography which details the artist’s haunted youth and his attempts to make sense of a world that seemed less real while dealing with the challenges of his autism and spiritual curiosities.

Watch this video with sound on Mute and will be OK

The art on display here is very interesting, if not a bit diss-associative. There are running narratives where Woodring speaks while he works. That's where the trouble starts. I was taught at an early age to take responsibility for the words I speak. Woodring is clearly just throwing out a rather lame stream of consciousness narrative that is almost certainly largely fiction. He is textbook proof that artists should be seen and not heard. He looks like a supervisor for janitors or a book keeper for a dive bar, and that is OK. I found his narrative to be mostly gibberish and clearly not to be taken at face value, so it was a surprise to see this drift towards less than honest revelations. As interesting as his art is, listening to him made me like it a lot less. I suggest watching the art show and putting the sound on mute and playing some nice music while you watch a talented artist tell lies and make up stories using ink and paper. He is very good at it.
