Movie Reviews of The Fantastic World of M. C. Escher
Movie Review: Escher is fascinating, but this DVD is not...
Summary: 1 Stars
Although this 50-minute documentary does explain a few tidbits about Escher's tesselations and impossible structures, it's very hard to watch. The camera is in constant motion, panning relentlessly across drawings, or spinning them at a speed that makes the viewer queasy. In between are long sequences with Escher experts drawing on chalkboards. Our family became frustrated as the camera would often linger on a tiny section of a drawing, but never reveal the total work. I think that a book with good reproductions of Escher's work would be a much better choice for experiencing his art.
