Winner of the Art Basel ART FILM OF THE YEAR award, ABSOLUTE WILSON premiered to rave reviews at the 2006 Berlin International Film Festival. After garnering accolades from festivals around the world, ABSOLUTE WILSON received a worldwide theatrical release and celebrated its television premiere on HBO in 2007.
ABSOLUTE WILSON chronicles the epic life, times and creative genius of Robert Wilson, intimately revealing for the first time one of the most controversial, daring and downright mysterious artists of our era. The two-time Pulitzer Prize nominee, Robert Wilson, is considered the leading stage artist in America; he has been hailed by the New York Times as the "towering figure" of contemporary theatre. In Europe, he is a superstar to rival any living artist. Across the world, he is acclaimed as a pioneer in lighting and stage design. He has invented a new language for the stage and has worked with many of the most creative minds in the public consciousness today.
With humor, verve and a buoyant pace, filmmaker Katharina Otto-Bernstein followed the restless creator for five years around the world and created a unique portrait that freely moves between past and present; inter-cutting candid interviews with the famous artist himself and array of collaborators, contemporaries and critics -- ranging from musicians David Byrne and Tom Waits, to the late writers Susan Sontag and William S. Burroughs, to composer Philip Glass and singer Jessye Norman, among many other familiar faces. An exhilarating and entertaining exploration of the mystifying power of creativity itself, ABSOLUTE WILSON is also an inspirational tale of struggle, hope and overcoming the obstacles.
