This stunning film makes Paik both understandable and an art-world luminary who really deserved the title “genius”.

| Original Score: 5/5 | May 23, 2023

This is a wide-reaching, kinetic and vibrant documentary.

| Original Score: 4 | May 23, 2023

This very enjoyable film explores his extensive body of work, much of it daringly ahead of its time...

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 21, 2023

Yes, the documentary is structurally formulaic and a tad Wikipedia-y, but Paik’s eccentric provocations are so fascinating that they distract from the lack of invention elsewhere.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 19, 2023

The film’s lucid account has visual energy without gimmicks.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 19, 2023

Kim whips up a zippy, playful mood her subject would probably have enjoyed. But she can do gravity too: teasing out the wider history that linked artist, art and things to come.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 18, 2023

[T]ruly fascinating stuff,

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 18, 2023

The overwhelming sense of vocation necessary for such a life is almost awe-inspiring, although Paik’s own jokey, opaque persona seems to exist as a rebuke to any reaction as bourgeois as that.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 17, 2023

A generous look into the fascinating life of this true thinker... one that bustles with sound, color, and electrifying discovery.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 16, 2023

Ms. Kim strives to remain true to her subject’s sensibilities -- her imagistic narrative amounts to energetic homage -- and this includes not romanticizing his life.

| May 12, 2023

Still, as attention-getting as some of his stunts were, the art world was very slow to acknowledge video art as legitimate, let alone collectible...

[Director Amanda] Kim along with editor Taryn Gould make smart work of how they choose to integrate Paik’s work where possible within a raft of archival footage and interviews with fellow artists, curators and critics.

| Apr 7, 2023

Despite Kim's best efforts, what made Paik tick remains unknown. But in chronological order, we see his epiphanies. And his influence is in plain sight

| Original Score: B | Mar 29, 2023

Might be a bit straightforward and standard in execution for its subject’s personal tastes, but Kim’s film succeeds in bringing his legendary works to a wider and increasingly appreciative audience.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 29, 2023

The Korean-born artist Nam June Paik has been described as the “foremost video artist in the world” and “the father of video art.” Appropriately, filmmaker Amanda Kim’s documentary tribute to Paik is visually vibrant.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 23, 2023

It's both understandable and a shame that “Nam June Paik: Moon is the Oldest 온라인카지노추천” is such a typically structured documentary about an artist that was anything but typical.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Mar 23, 2023

The film’s sense of art history is somewhat blinkered by lack of context. But Paik is undeniable, creating despite lean times.

| Mar 23, 2023

Nam June Paik is a fascinating character, an artist who was clearly way too far ahead of his time for his own good.

| Mar 22, 2023

Mildly engaging, but shallow, hagiographic and incomplete.

| Mar 21, 2023

Like many artist documentaries, Moon Is the Oldest 온라인카지노추천 is an exercise in selection and emphasis.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 19, 2023
