Title: how is it possible to make Miro seem dull?
Product review: When you look at a Miro piece of artwork you are struck by the colors, the crazy shapes and the fun of it all. Where is the fun in this DVD?To start off there is some person dressed up in a costume with a mask much like the faces Miro painted. This person wanders throughout the film like some sort of mime on acid.The narrator sounds half asleep and/or pretentious.The actual film or video stock this was shot on lacks any brightness or sharpness. It's like the quality you get taping over programs on old video cassettes.Given I love stuff like the two seminal BBC series on art--Simon Schama's "Power of Art" and "Private Life Of A Masterpiece"--I was expecting similar with this. This was done by some New York-based company called V.I.E.W. (are they related to the "The Man From U.N.C.L.E."?) and all I can say is they didn't convince me at all with this to go out and check out any more of their art or music DVDs.
