... this art-fully fractured film is more interested in his enduring artistic impulses than in any clichéd "testament to the human spirit".

Hughes talks about how his brain continued making films in his head (I wish I had seen that movie instead).

... the film has many sublime moments, offers great insight into the human condition and finds a visual vehicle for a story that's not just about sight, but about seeing the world

Rating: B --
De Montalembert's achievements are inspiring and Tarn,who also composed the score, has found a terrific filmic correlation.I'm not certain this documentary will be for everyone, but it doespresent a compelling tale in an unusual manner.

It is incomprehensible that such an amazing story could be the foundation of such a boring and inept film.

Product Description:
Director-composer Gary Tarn tells the story of Hugues de Montalembert, who was blinded by an act of violence yet continued to travel the world independently.
Product Description:
What happens when a visual artists is tragically robbed of his main tool -- his eyesight' Gary Tarn's remarkable, award-winning documentary, BLACK SUN, investigates this through the story of Hugues de Montalembert, a New York-based artist and filmmaker who was blinded by a vicious attack in 1978. Defying expectation, the remarkable artist continued to travel the world alone, learning to navigate life in a new and beautiful way. Through striking imagery and philosophical narration, director and composer Gary Tarn creates an expressionist, poetic meditation on an extraordinary life without vision, and the idea of perception in general.
