•
1h 20m
Directed by Robin Lutz • Documentary • 2021 • Netherlands • English, Dutch, Italian and German with English subtitles
Featuring M. C. Escher, Stephen Fry, George Escher
Equal parts history, psychology, and psychedelia, Robin Lutz’s entertaining, eye-opening portrait of M.C. Escher 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.
