The film raises important questions about how we remember the forgotten geniuses of the past, and reconcile them with modern values.
I loved this documentary - twists and turns and I was very invested in an artist I had never heard of - you'll see why
Anyone's life is doomed to be crazy and for an artist even more. Excellent doc with a roller-coaster of thought provoking scenes!
Amazing to see how much history a person can live through, and try to peer into such a unique mind
A terrific, humane and very intimate documentary on a sadly underrated and extremely talented artist.
This may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it was “interesting”
A compelling story told with interesting visuals
Really enjoyed this documentary and I am not an art fan. Interesting and talented character.
This documentary about a tortured, genius artist who has lived and lost more than most, will change how you see and create art forever.
Documentário bacanudo. Vale muito a pena ver se você curtir arte.

It is 1943, and the German army—ravaged and demoralised—is hastily retreating from the Russian front. In the midst of the madness, conflict brews between the aristocratic yet ultimately pusillanimous Captain Stransky and the courageous Corporal Steiner. Stransky is the only man who believes that the Third Reich is still vastly superior to the Russian army. However, within his pompous persona lies a quivering coward who longs for the Iron Cross so that he can return to Berlin a hero. Steiner, on the other hand is cynical, defiantly non-conformist and more concerned with the safety of his own men rather than the horde of military decorations offered to him by his superiors.
