Jeremy Moss's rating of the film Black Sun
Jeremy Moss

A poetic and atmospheric documentary about a filmmaker and visual artist who loses his sight. Wall to wall narration (story telling) from the individual and subject of the film. Wall to wall music. A sea of urban and abstract imagery. 70 glorious minutes. I found it be be very engaging and beautiful (moving and inspiring). This film left such an impression on me - I think of it often.

Poetic and beautiful in its interaction of narration and visuals Black Sun is a gem of a film! But I'm afraid that hardly anyone even knows about its existence... I highly recommend this film to the world.

En lugar de una lectura de autoayuda, es mejor ver este documental. Testimonio inspirador.
