Botero (2018)
Beautiful, informative and entertaining
There is something about a story well told that stays with you a long time. Seeing beautiful art has the same effect on me and the beauty of the art in this film is astounding. Although I am no expert, I am sure the skillful camerawork under the direction of Don Millar is a major contributing factor. At one point during the film I couldn't help thinking that seeing the artwork presented alone, was worth the price of admission. In the telling of Botero's life journey it is evident that the presentation of his progression as an artist and the focus on specific turning points is well considered and results in a film that is greater than the sum of its parts. I highly recommend this film to anyone interested in art, art history and learning about life through the lens of an accomplished and successful individual.
