Product Description Absolute Wilson is a richly provocative and moving portrait, intimately revealing one of the most visionary and controversial theater artists of our time, Robert Wilson. The film delivers a surprisingly candid look at Robert Wilson, who drops his characteristic reticence and speaks with unprecedented candor about his personal life. Nothing is left in the shadows, as he discusses his troubled and lonely childhood as the son of the Mayor of Waco, Texas, his early learning disabilities, his work with disabled children using therapy as a tool for artistic expression, his departure from Texas at the time of his coming out and his fascination with the downtown New York avant-garde scene of the late 60s. What emerges is a life full of impressions, colors and rhythms, making it all the more poignant how Wilson's early hardships ultimately shaped his ground-breaking aesthetic vision. More than a biography, the film becomes an exhilarating exploration of the transformative power of creativity itself and the inspirational tale of a shy, stuttering boy who grew up to become a fearless artist with a profoundly original perspective to share with the world. Review An excellent introduction to Wilson's singular vision. -- --Jonathan Rosenbaum, THE CHICAGO READER Absorbing. -- --A.O. Scott, THE NEW YORK TIMES About the Director Notes from the Director: Katharina Otto-Bernstein has said, I started with the premise that to really understand Robert Wilson's work you would have to understand him as a human being. It took many years and a lot of prodding, shouting, scheming to get Bob to finally open up, but we ultimately built a very strong trust that allowed the seemingly impossible to happen. Robert's work has always been about attempting the impossible so I felt a kind of constant connection to that idea. To do anything with Robert Wilson, of course, is an incredible learning experience. He thinks in terms of the superlative and is always striving for perfection. In making this film, there was always a desire to live up to that. At the same time I did not want to compromise on what I saw as the heart of the film and the missing piece of the story: the very human side of his past that was largely hidden. See more
