Description

M.C. Escher: Journey To Infinity is the story of world famous Dutch graphic artist M.C Escher (1898-1972). Equal parts history, psychology, and psychedelia, Robin Lutz’s entertaining, eye-opening portrait gives us the man through his own words and images: diary musings, excerpts from lectures, correspondence and more are voiced by British actor Stephen Fry, while Escher’s woodcuts, lithographs, and other print works appear in both original and playfully altered form. Two of his sons, George (92) and Jan (80), reminisce about their parents while musician Graham Nash (Crosby, Stills & Nash) talks about Escher’s rediscovery in the 1970s. The film looks at Escher’s legacy: one can see tributes to his work in movies, in fiction, on posters, on tattoos, and elsewhere throughout our culture; indeed, few fine artists of the 20th century can lay claim to such popular appeal.

    It’s fun to see his work and Stephen Fry’s voice does a great job at carrying the movie. I have to admit though that his life wasn’t that interesting from a spectators viewpoint. Which is fine, we currently live in a world where spectacle is what everyone is trying to emulate but most peoples work has very little substance. Escher seems to be the opposite of this. It’s his work that’s interesting, not him. 4 stars for production and Stephen fry. Minus 1 star for a life story that’s not very interesting.
