Audience Member It favours its own creativity over its subject matter. But Why Man Creates is a documentary with a rare ability to charm through its perplexing humour and visual originality. It also demonstrates Saul Bass's lighter side to life, and (when you can work out what it's actually informing) acts as a great demonstration for how creativity touches every person, whether it is rejected or embraced by them. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This somewhat experimental documentary about creativity by Saul Bass (best known for creating some movie posters and opening sequences for Hitchcock films) is an interesting and sometimes funny look at creativity and why people do it. It isn't really an in depth documentary, but more of an experimental look at the subject. The animation that starts it off is wonderful...the rest is sort of hit or miss. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member interesting film. very odd, and almost drug trip inspired in cinematography and direction. however, it raised a good question, with a good discussion. overall i was really confused, but it was kind of entertaining Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely suburb piece!
