A fascinating documentary and an intimate portrayal of a collective of extraordinary and idiosyncratic artists, a film which sheds new light on old questions about art, outsider art and the artistic impulse.

Living Colour is an 82-minute observational documentary film that explores the world of an unusual artists' collective in Callan, Co. Kilkenny, a studio which focuses on the artists' abilities instead of their special needs. As it takes us farther into their unique world, this extraordinary film builds into an often hilarious and intimate portrayal of a medley of charming and vibrant characters and throws up questions about the deeply human need to make art. Living Colour is a rich and rewarding cinema experience and is, in itself, a celebration of what it is to be human.—Éamon Little
