In The Realms of the Unreal (2004)


Location: Home
Seen Before: No
Rating: 5.0

An extremely fascinating look at the world of reculsive Chicago janitor Henry Darger, whom, upon dying, was found to be the writer and illustrator a 15,000 page fantasy novel. Director Jessica Yu brings the story to life in the best way that she or anyone else could: through the use of Darger's paintings, writings, and journal entries. The interviews with the few people that [just barely] knew him bring a nice outsider's perspective to Darger that aren't found in his own writings.
