Shrewdly, the directors refuse to articulate their own opinions of, or outrage over, Landis, instead presenting him as an exceptionally curious personality engaged in a form of duplicative manufacturing born from a combination of childhood distress, adolescent psychological trauma, and inexplicable mania. It's a portrait of, if not a painter of any real renown, a devious and generous charlatan of the highest order.
