The art world, as any other, knows its prodigies and outsiders alike.  Here a few good documentaries that cover a wide range of such people.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars vs. Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
I suppose the comparison was inevitable, if not obvious.  The new documentary Protagonist by Jessica Yu finds a good template in Errol Morris&#8217; opus Fast, Cheap &#38; Out of Control.

Though the two films are separated by a decade, Morris&#8217; achievement is still [...]]]></description>

I considered the movie title to count as only one word.  Oh, and sometimes I had to get clever with hyphenated words to keep [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Leave it to comic books and American noir to spark an international dialog.
By now, everyone has either seen or heard of The Matrix trilogy. Not as many people have seen Dark City, though the two share some striking similarities. Both are stunning achievements in modern science fiction and thematically alike. Though Alex Proyas&#8217; beautiful Dark [...]]]></description>

Cyberpunk has had its ups (Blade Runner) and downs (Johnny Mnemonic, Hackers).  It isn&#8217;t an easy genre to convey on screen.  As with most styles, cyberpunk has gotten a facelift [...]]]></description>

That quintessential horror movie for adults that began nearly ten years ago with Silence of the Lambs has finally produced an heir.  By replacing photogenic teen bloodletting with intelligent pathological suspense, Lambs [...]]]></description>
