Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry
(2012)
Directed by Alison
Klayman this documentary features Ai Weiwei and many other Chinese
artists. We follow a Chinese artist between 2008 and 2011 while he is
at odds with the Chinese government.
What this documentary
does is use Ai Weiwei to look at not just art but the idea of how we
are all part of a larger whole. While this is not exactly a warts and
all piece, it has a very clear bias, it does ask some interesting
questions on what art is and the future of our interconnected worlds.
Largely the film is well made and mixes in digital content well but
never offers us another point of view which is a bit of a
disappointment.
4/5
