Seymour: An Introduction, 3 Stars

This is a documentary written and directed by Ethan Hawke. While Hawke is on screen on brief occasions, he is the catalyst for the story by asking 'Why make art?'

This is about 85 year old Seymour Bernstein and his career as a pianist and teacher. While 'only' 84 minutes, it does drag in spots.

There are many fascinating and moving scenes as Seymour recounts his past and continues to demonstrate his talent. His philosophical assertions about art, life, and self-identity - and the elements that make those important, will be worth seeing more than once.

This may not be an easy movie to find and may have just a short run in theatres. I recommend it to you.
