One of the most delightful films at this year’s Tribeca, Guggi is a must see.
The film is a portrait of Irish artist Guggi (---) who sits and holds court talking about his life and friends (Bono). Less like a formal documentary and more like hanging out with one of the best raconteurs in the world. Halfway into the film I wanted to do an interview, not so much to talk to him but just listen to him talk about his life and how her creates.
And I love his talk about how he creates. I may write, but everything he said about the visual arts really hit home. I especially loved his talking about his getting in trouble because he wasn’t paying attention to what was written on the board but instead the designs left by the erased chalk. That was something I did in fact and in related ways.
I don’t have a great deal to say other than I love the film and I want to hold it close to my heart. This is good times with great people and a must see.
