Oscar Award-winner Jessica Yu ventures into the cryptic, fantastic world of "outsider artist" Henry Darger, a reclusive Chicago janitor who died in 1972, leaving behind a colossal multi-volume fantasy novel and an abundance of warped drawings, collages, and paintings. Yu blends unique footage of the artist's cluttered domicile with mesmerizing animated renderings of his art, and also interviews Darger's acquaintances, whose divergent opinions of the man only deepen his mystery. "A spry, creative response to [Darger's] oceanic talent and claustrophobic life" (Village Voice).
