And I am certain there will be more to follow.

This is a film that reflects the mind set of a man who is not shy with self advertisement, with spreading the word, with getting the self displayed in all its ugliness and all its beauty.

Personally i could not live with this man/artist Isaiah Zagar His work over whelmes me. I need peace and quiet and blank white walls to feast my eyes upon. Isaiah knows no quiet and yet he seldom talks except to his cement.

But when he does speak, the people in his inner circle (of which there are few) listen, obey, take note with more than a passing fancy and perhaps you will too.

The music is special, the art is fantastic, the love of texture, color, feel, is great. The connection to people is slime but Isaiah holds on, keeps going and I guess that is what he wants to inspire in others. To persevere in this moment called life.

Note: There is a strong similiarity between this film and the work of Ross Kauffman(executive producer) of "Born into Bothel" fame. A similarity in the love of art and art shows and the predominance of confusion, the almost 'too much'. For me these films create an intensely interesting experience until I shut down. Stimulous overload and i give up and walk away.

The best moment in In A Dream was when Isaiah brings out an orange cavas folding chair, a color he does not work with. An obvious addition from his wife. He opens it up in the middle of an empty oversized room replete with walls filled with his artistic creations and sits down. He is smling. So am I.


If you are a art lover, a lover of documentary film, this film is for you. And the Magic Garden party? It promises to be an extra family delight.
