#####

As long as you have samples of his work displayed on screen, you pretty much can't go wrong with a film about Frank Frazetta. His work is fantastic.

I learned a few things that surprised me, mainly that he doesn't work with models or photographs! But equally impressive is that recently, due to a few strokes, he has begun drawing and painting with his left hand (having spent his career prior to this, painting with his right).

The only thing that I would have liked more of, would have been seeing him actually working on some of his paintings. We only got a glimpse of this with his left hand.

Still...a great documentary. Highly recommended.
