Anslem Kieffer, a renowned artist known for his thought-provoking and evocative works, becomes the central focus of this film.

Through this poetic rendering, the film seeks to capture the spirit and emotions that fuel Kieffer's creative process, providing viewers with a visceral connection to the artist and his oeuvre.

I'm surprised by many of the extremely negative reviews of The Matrix. Rating this movie a 1, really? Almost seems like there's a cabal. I rate an 8, and minimum a very strong 7. I viewed it 20 years later with my 10-year-old son and his friend, and the FX certainly stands the test of time, since they were both impressed. Even with everything that's out there today.

Obviously, if you hate sci-fi or tech, stay away from this movie. Unless you're a tween, you're not going find much philosophical enlightenment either. Having said that, at the time, it did create a standard for the genre and remains a entertaining movie.

As for the story line, in 1999, we hadn't reached the ten-year mark of the popularization of the internet, so the themes certainly struck a chord. Still does today.

Relax and enjoy.
