Surprises are rare. It's even rarer to to be truly taken aback by both form and content. I live in Toronto and to my eternal embarrassment, I have not heard of the truly wondrous painter, the late Sam Borenstein of Montreal.
The film is about him and his juicy, rich, textured paintings. If you want to see a portrait of a passionate painter. If you wonder what passion means, see this flawless film.
The film was directed and written by Sam Borensteins daughter. The film oozes love for a man who only knew how to be a painter. The film creates a saintly portrait of an artist what didn't follow the conventional narrative 'artist as irresponsible lover/husband /father" . Instead he was loved by his family for his uncompromising dedications.
Heavenly treat
