Synopsis:
In the vibrant, bohemian neighborhood of South Philadelphia, 50,000-
square feet of concrete are covered with tile and mirrors—mosaics that
were created by Isaiah Zagar, an eccentric, tormented artist.

The murals chronicle his love for his wife, Julia, and subtly hint at
the darker corners of an extraordinary imagination. Where Isaiah is
obsessive and narcissistic—a former Peace Corps volunteer who has
become an icon in South Philly’s art community—Julia is gracious and
warm. For decades, their opposing natures complemented one another
perfectly. But suddenly the family is torn apart at the seams: A few
hours before picking up his oldest son from a rehabilitation center,
Isaiah declares to the camera, “As people get older they have less and
less passion.” He then confesses to an affair with his assistant, is
kicked out of the house, and spirals into a debilitating, suicidal
depression.

A fascinating portrait of love and betrayal, family bonds, and the
intimacy of dysfunction. Shot on 35mm, Hi Def, digital video; with 8mm
and 16mm home movie footage. The soundtrack features music by the
Books, Explosions in the Sky, Efterklang, and Kelli Scarr.

Sounds potentially worth seeing - any plans for it to be shown in the UK?
