Through his own words, personal photos, and illustrations, famed children’s book author Maurice Sendak offers a rare, intimate, often funny, and unexpected look at his exceptional life.
Leading up to the production of Where the Wild Things Are, Spike Jonze (up for an Oscar this year for Her!) co-directed this loving, bittersweet HBO doc on the author himself: the now-departed Maurice Sendak, whose internal conflicts and obsessions were turned into beautiful art for all ages.
