Full Plot Details

Far Out Isn't Far Enough: The Tomi Ungerer Story depicts one man's wild, lifelong adventure of testing societal boundaries through his use of subversive art. This 98-minute film combines traditional documentary storytelling with original animation from over 70 years worth of art from the renegade children's book author and illustrator. Using a historical palette of 20th century events to paint an artist's epic yet controversial life story, this HD documentary film offers a feature-length retrospective of Ungerer's life and art, pondering the complexities and contradictions of a man who, armed with an acerbic wit, an accusing finger and a razor sharp pencil, gave visual representation to the revolutionary voices during one of the most tantalizing and dramatic periods in American history. Far Out Isn't Far Enough explores the circumstances of his meteoric rise and fall on American soil, but also delves into Ungerer's formative years leading up to, and prolific years since, his time in America.

Movie Reviews

Washington Post - 10/10 by Michael O'SullivanFor the most part, Bernstein lets Ungerer, still impish in his 80s, do the talking.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 9/10 by Chris HewittUngerer's art is interesting, and so is he.
National Post - 9/10 by Nathalie AtkinsonThe art floats and comes to life, animated and illustrating the flights of fantasy that continue unabated at [Ungerer] studio.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 9/10 by Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)Ungerer's art is interesting, and so is he.
Boston Phoenix - 8/10 by Gerald PearyDoes every semi-famous person deserve a full-length documentary about them?
Boston Herald - 7/10 by James VerniereThe film brilliantly incorporates Ungerer's art into its visuals in ways that are as instructive as they are delightful
SF Weekly - 6/10 by Jonathan KieferUngerer has a light touch with weighty absurdity.
NewsBlaze - 6/10 by Prairie MillerA formidable creative force fueled by massive contradictions, Ungerer is a kind of self-analytical shrink here. Conflicted yet inspired by identity issues, political injustice art, and a weirdly beloved treasure trove of headless sex slave barbie dolls.
User Review - 10/10 by oliver mabsolute awesome & smart! was sucked in after the first few seconds!
User Review - 10/10 by Eric HThe film was a truly entertaining look at an iconoclastic artist. Leave it to the puritan US to pigeonhole him as a childrens book illustrator and see inconsistency in his erotic and anti-war/anti-racist political work. While it seemed clear to me that this gifted artist's work knows no bounds - art oozes from his pores. One could compare him to Duchamp (not his art) in the way that the artist is his own art. I enjoyed the editing of the piece, even the CG animations. It was often funny, sometimes apparently unintentionally so. Inspiring!
