This is an interesting documentary film that I happened to see on tv. I wasn't previously familiar with Norval Morrisseau - though I got a feeling that I might have seen his art somewhere before.
At first I was a bit confused where is the film going and how are all these people connected to the big picture but later it started to become more clear. More than the original art itself the film focuses on crimes that some people close to the artist committed. The makers of the film have done very thorough job in interviewing a lot of different people and collected a lot of clues to put together the difficult puzzle where a lot of lies and half-truths are against each other. The ending is left a bit open but everyone can then form their own opinion.
Recommended for fans of art, and generally anyone who likes crime-solving and truth-seeking kind of films.
