This documentary is not an easy viewing experience. No, let's be honest, it's tough. Really emotionally tough. Containing interviews with close colleagues and friends of Adrian and notably his own father, it also has at it's heart, imaginative visuals to accompany the central demonstration of Adrian's lowest point of his personal descent into hell. Disturbingly, it gives as close a visual glimpse as we are ever going to get to the state of his sadly ill mind at this point inside the family home, with a graphic description of events.
It's not all doom and gloom, however. There are moments of positivity and even humour scattered throughout the journey, where his brave fight against his debilitating condition shines through.
His dedication to his art and determination for it to succeed despite everything is a testament to his commitment in this regard.
The "warts and all" format shows how difficult it is in the wider world where this condition exists, even for those close to the subject of the mental illness, to understand and cope with the slowly unfolding disaster happening in front of them.
The film takes us chronologically through the story right up to his final act of defiance, subtly conveying with the use of a simple filmed sequence of images, how and where he met his "demons" and put them to rest.
Unlike all of the unsung sufferers without a voice, Adrian was able to leave behind him an artistic legacy which is his triumph over his enemy and should be a comfort and inspiration to anybody involved, at whatever level, with this most tragic of human conditions.
