Documentary, Biopic, Art, Complex Relationships

This is the story of Isaiah Zagar, the renowned mosaic artist. The film is focused on identity and love and the complexity that relationships entail when an artist has a family. Strangely enough, the story didn't engage me as I had hoped. Perhaps the non-linear and artistic editing that makes the film interesting and beautiful didn't work as a narrative. I found myself being drawn away.
