Product Overview

Challenging the conventional approach to hagiography, Eddie Martin's film on Australian artist Anthony Lister gives us not just a profile of the man behind the masterpieces, but also insights into the turbulent path he traversed on his way to global acclaim. Incorporating copious footage shot by Lister himself, the resulting documentary blends commentary and confessional, subject and storyteller, writes Anthony Carew.
