Documentary exploring the life and work of the novelist, poet, social critic and self-proclaimed 'outsider', who was often persecuted for his explicit subject matter.
In 2019, artist Sam Cox bought a mansion in the English countryside. Stripping it bare and painting all the walls white, he then spent two years covering every inch of it with black marker doodles—whimsical, surreal scribbles dubbed “Spaghetti Graffiti.” A stop-motion film capturing this endeavor propelled “Mr. Doodle” to global fame. What began as a total and imaginative artistic vision spirals into a breakdown, forcing a battle between his artistic passion and his mental health. As his loved ones grow concerned for his health, Sam remains resolute, and the film, deftly maneuvering between untamed creativity and carefully-measured balance, offers a remarkably honest attempt to find out if balance is something Sam can ever achieve.
Excellent cinematography is displayed in the film-Cohen utilizes various types of film, from super 8 to 16mm. Fugazi, being the greatest medley of musicians to emerge from the DC area, is depicted on screen in an 115 minute documentary. The video includes really neat live footage, as well as some bonus material.
