98 Minutes. Color. 5.1 Audio. One man's wild, lifelong adventure of testing society's boundaries through his subversive art, this acclaimed film combines traditional documentary storytelling with original animation culled from seven decades worth of art from the renegade children's book author and illustrator.
Using a palette of 20th century events to paint an artist's epic yet controversial life story, the film offers a retrospective of Ungerer's life and art, and ponders the complexities and contradictions of a man who, armed with an acerbic wit, an accusing finger and a razor sharp pencil, gave visual representation to the revolutionary voices during one of the most tantalizing and dramatic periods in American history.
Bonus Features include:
- Tomi Ungerer & Jules Feiffer at The Society of Illustrators
- Maurice Sendak Critiques The King's Speech
- Tomi Ungerer in Ireland
- Deleted Scenes
- Director's Commentary.
