Movie Description:
ABSOLUTE WILSON chronicles the epic life, times and creative genius of Robert Wilson, intimately revealing for thefirst time one of the mostcontroversial and rule-breakingartists of our era. His revolutionary stage workhas so altered our concept of theater that, as David Byrne says, "itmakes...other theater look hopelessly old-fashioned." The sheer scope of Wilson`s output, the prior unavailability of visual records,and his own personal privacy have given him an elusiveness thatis thoroughly dissolved by this fascinating, full-access portrait. At the film`scenter is Wilson himself. A riveting screen presence, Wilsonspeaks with unprecedented candor about his life. Nothingis left in the shadows, as hediscusses his restrictive upbringing, his therapeutic work with disabled children, his departure from small-town Texas at the time of his coming outas well as his experiences in the New York avant-garde scene of the 1960`s. More than a biography, the film becomes an exhilaratingexploration of the transformative power of creativity itself-and the inspirational tale of a shy, stuttering boy whogrew up to become a fearlessartist with a profoundly original perspective to share with the world.
