Angel Applicant

With unflinching honesty and ardor, this soul-stirring, wonderfully offbeat documentary reminds you of the power of family, positive thinking, and art. Demonstrating filmmaking prowess, Meyer is indeed an artist and already an extraordinary human being.

Meyer, who also acts as the film’s editor, is a likeable, informative and honest guide through his extreme experience.

What also makes Angel Applicant different from so many other personal documentaries about serious illness is his essay-like examination of Klee’s life and career, accompanied by numerous examples of his artworks which became more abstract as his illness progressed.
