Of art and crime

This is an interesting documentary film that I happened to see on tv. I wasn't previously familiar with Norval Morrisseau - though I got a feeling that I might have seen his art somewhere before.

At first I was a bit confused where is the film going and how are all these people connected to the big picture but later it started to become more clear. More than the original art itself the film focuses on crimes that some people close to the artist committed. The makers of the film have done very thorough job in interviewing a lot of different people and collected a lot of clues to put together the difficult puzzle where a lot of lies and half-truths are against each other. The ending is left a bit open but everyone can then form their own opinion.

Recommended for fans of art, and generally anyone who likes crime-solving and truth-seeking kind of films.

Somewhat Interesting Documentary

Not a particularly fascinating documentary. Fairly obvious who the bad actors in this story. A story of greed and simple people being taken advantage of. Art work (childlike) is forged and sold to a gullible Canadian public. Some at ridiculous prices. Oddly, not a single forensic examination of any of the art is shown or discussed.

Love a good documentary....

And this one certainly qualifies. What starts off as a story filled with art world intrigue and drama, veers off into a much darker and disturbing story of drugs, cultural appropriation, and possibly murder. Would have loved to know more about the artist and how his work came to be so beloved, before he drifted off into drugs and a downward spiral. It feels like two movies that were edited into one. Still, for anyone with an appreciation for Indigenous art, or a good mystery, i recommend this movie.
