Nam June Paik was the king of video art back in its infancy. Every major art museum owns his work, and much of it still looks impressive today. This doc does a good job of reviewing his life and career. It does feel a little long, but there’s so much information to get across that the runtime is justifiable. This inspiring documentary is essential viewing for anyone interested in visual art. Using Steven Yeun (Beef, Nope, etc) for the voiceovers is a nice bonus too.
Not available on Blu-ray.
