Oscar-winning writer-director Spike Jonze teamed up with documentarian Lance Bangs to craft this fascinating short study of beloved children’s book author Maurice Sendak, whose classic WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE Jonze adapted for the big screen in 2009. Three years prior to Sendak’s death, Bangs and Jonze gently push the then-80-year old artist to open up about his family, childhood traumas, homosexuality, and how his life’s experiences informed his writing and illustration. The result is a must-see for all fans of Sendak’s work.
