Director: Amir Bar-Lev
Starring: Marla Olmstead, Mark Olmstead, Amir Bar-Lev
USA, 2007, 1 hour 23 minutes
A highly engaging documentary about the nature of modern art that focuses on the story of ’child genius’ Marla, a four year old who became a national celebrity in the US, whose paintings were compared to Kandinsky and Pollack selling for thousands of dollars.
The most talked about doc at this year’s London Film Festival, this is an absorbing study of truth and parental responsibility that intelligently examines how the media’s obsession with celebrity feeds the way modern art is perceived, valued and sold. Excellent.
