M.C. Escher: Journey To lnfinity teIIs the story of worId famous Dutch graphic artist M.C Escher (1898-1972). EquaI parts history, psychology, and psychedeIia, Robin Lutz's entertaining, eyeopening portrait gives us the man through his own words and images: diary musings, excerpts from Iectures, correspondence and more (voiced by British actor Stephen Fry, Gosford Park), while Escher's woodcuts, lithographs, and other printing techniques appear in both originaI and pIayfulIy aItered form. Two of his sons, George (92) and Jan (80), reminisce about their parents while musician Graham Nash (Crosby, StiIls & Nash) taIks about Escher's rediscovery in the 1970s. The fiIm looks at Escher's legacy: one can see tributes to his work in movies, in fiction, on posters, on tattoos, and elsewhere throughout our culture; indeed, few fine artists of the 20th century can lay claim to such popuIar appeal.
