In Inspirations seven artists from the famous (the late Roy Lichtenstein, David Bowie) to the more obscure (Pueblo sculptor Nora Narango-Morse, French Canadian dancer Louise Lecavalier) discuss why they became artists and what it means to create as both a daily routine and a lifelong passion. Director Michael Apted (Enough, the Up documentaries) neatly avoids the usual talking-head format of documentaries by focusing on very visual subjects. Narango-Morse digs mud from the mountains and works it between her toes, glass artist Dale Chihuly instructs urban kids as they turn molten mass into colorful creations, and Lecavalier and partner dance in dramatic staccato, choreographed by film subject Edouard Lock. Revelations are surprising, such as when Bowie extols the calm of waking at dawn since he quit drinking and drugging, and candid, such as when Japanese architect Tadao Ando confesses that the ugliness of his home city Osaka inspired him to add beauty and spirituality to his designs. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Customer Reviews of Inspirations
The art of creation, shared firsthand by artists who create! I've waited for a long time to purchase this film and I'm so glad it is now available. I saw this documentary at the Santa Barbara Film Festival a few years ago and was deeply moved by the work of the artists profiled as well as by the artists themselves. Some were familiar to me, while others (like sculptor Nora Naranjo-Morse) were a revelation. I think that civilization evolves through individual acts of creation by artists, writers, scientists, and inventors who shape the future with their minds and hearts. Apted's beautiful film lets us inside the minds and hearts of seven remarkable creators, and in doing so he gives all of us new license to explore, rebel, innovate, and grow.
