      Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader Seemingly shot in Super-8, these dreamlike, impressionistic sequences, mainly rendered without sound, are heady reminders of how intangible history, as opposed to imaginative speculation, usually is. Jun 9, 2022 Full Review Emanuel Levy Variety Sami Frey gives an astonishingly intense perfromance in his portrait of the genius and madness of the famed French poet-intellectual. Rated: 4/5 Jan 27, 2006 Full Review Russell Smith Austin Chronicle Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Though exceedingly long (over 4 hours), this is an intelligent and insightful chronicle of the eccentric French poet and philosopher who died in 1948 Rated: B+ Jan 9, 2007 Full Review Lewis Whittington culturevulture.net A rare film that actually has something interesting to say about the creative process Feb 9, 2006 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A stimulating grainy black-and-white shot fictionalized biopic on the last two years of one of the great 20th century literary figures, Antonin Artaud.
