Far Out Isn't Far Enough: The Tomi Ungerer StoryIn Far Out, we meet an artist who creates boundary-exploring erotica and provocative political art, while penning best-selling children's literature with mischievous wit and childlike innocence. He arrives on American shores eager for economic opportunities and new creative freedom, and he leaves having offended even the tolerant and open-minded as he pushes past the limits of propriety. He becomes a broadly appealing artist and Madison Avenue success story, a singular artist steeped in piquant ideas and thoughts, yet even his most recognized books are now out of print. While Ungerer is by no means a victim, he is an early casualty of the so-called cultural wars-a man who didn't fit neatly into the left or the right, and who managed to offend and fascinate people of all political and cultural persuasions. Once the most famous children's book author in America, Tomi Ungerer became persona non grata in this country, exiled to the professional abyss, never to be heard from again. (c) First Run.

Review For Far Out Isn't Far Enough: The Tomi Ungerer Story | |
| Charming animated sequences offer a tantalizing taste of this creator's singular talents, underscoring the grievous wrongs dealt him. Andy Webster-New York Times Though nobody's citizen, the artist, as this engrossing if somewhat oblique career portrait confirms, is still present. Michelle Orange-Village Voice Ungerer is certainly an irrepressible force, but beyond his surreal erotica getting him blacklisted from picture books in the early '70s, his life isn't very dramatic, and Bernstein's film pads it with historical footage and precious animations. Michael Atkinson-Time Out New York Brad Bernstein's documentary proves that Ungerer's legacy is as historically significant as it is artistically. Nick McCarthy-Slant Magazine The subject is more fascinating than the documentary about him, in this case. Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service Easily the most wildly fascinating artist profiled in a documentary since Crumb. Christopher Campbell-Movies.com | |
