Art is a Part of this Story

The art of Jerry Barrish is a focal point for the movie and it is so interesting & complex in ways I wasn't expecting. But so is the life and careers of the artist. It unfolds in a smart path that builds to a perfect place. You will be wondering what more could be behind such seemingly simple works of expression. It incorporates many pieces from the collection (although I suspect there are thousands more waiting for a chance to be revealed.) And you will also take a journey through history as the biography of Jerry Barrish is told. If you like documentaries, art, biography, and tales well told, you will enjoy Plastic Man.
