5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Bio, September 5, 2003
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This well-made documentary on the great Dada / Surrealist Max Ernst is a must for fans of those movements. This superb artist all to often goes unnoticed by our current mainstream culture, which seems too obsessed with Dali and Duchamp. Sure those two were important, but Max Ernst was probably just as significant in the development of modern art. The DVD quality is very good, and the movie itself is simply terrific. It follows the life and career of DadaMax, with footage of him speaking, and in a Bunuel movie. 5 out of 5.

4.0 out of 5 stars Artist Speaking about his own Work, January 20, 2005
By 
Bill C. (Eastern Virginia) - See all my reviews
This excellent documentary of the great German artist has mostly footage of him speaking about his own work, which is for me the very best way to help me understand any artist's work. His remarks as well as the accompanying biographical information are excellently done. The only reason I give it only 4 stars is that he's not one of my favorite artists.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best films I've ever seen, December 13, 2007
This movie is wunderbar and I watch it over and over. Max Ernst was so amazing and so is this film. The footage is ridiculous, and they have Ernst talk while they show actual film of where he lived or what he experienced. The cinematography is beautiful, the research is awesome-brilliant. Its so great and they show you paintings you can't find even at the library when you are writing a huge paper about Ernst. If you want to understand his paintings, watch this movie and you will see the best example of painting explanation I have ever seen. If only college were this good!!!!
"Who made world history? Not the most reasonable people, the madmen. So if painting is the mirror of a time, it must be mad to have the true image of what a time is." MaxErnst
