Brush with Life: The Art of Being Edward Biberman (2007)
This documentary brings alive a remarkable artist’s passionate journey through a turbulent century. Both epic and surprisingly intimate, the film presents a classic American immigrant saga, an inspiring search for artistic independence, and a great romance. Along the way, Biberman's growing commitment to social justice and struggle against McCarthy-era repression (his brother, director Herbert Biberman, went to prison as one of The Hollywood Ten) combine with his efforts to create both a loving family life and a groundbreaking body of work. With its grand scope, rich personalities, and vast array of breathtaking artwork, Brush With Life connects us in a deeply personal way to a brilliant artist who lived by the same high standards he set for his paintings.

Overrated and overhyped
Best movie ever!
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
