| CinemaniaDan JardineThe film really took off for me when the artists in the field examine the need to move into more philosophical directions |
| User ReviewJeff H*On netflix streaming* I didn't expect much from a PBS documentry on oragami. I was amazed by the skill of these artist. This is a art medium for a genius and as a fan of art I believe this form takes more techical skill than anything else. I totally buy into how the artist explain their art, even the abstract stuff. As a art student you some times feel like artist BS through there work. All these artist are very intelligent (one is the youngest MIT professor ever) and are interesting on a intelectual level. I actually looked up some oragami on the internet after watching this a did some. |
