Maurizio Cattelan: Be Right Back

Maura Axelrod / 2016 / USA / 95min / English / Chinese subtitles / Taiwan premier

Like the best mysteries, viewers emerge from this dizzying documentary journey into the life of Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan — “the art world’s greatest prankster” — knowing everything and nothing about a man who, from his professional inception, ushered us into a dazzling hall of mirrors that forms his oeuvre. Cattelan shook up the contemporary art world beginning in the late 1980s by duct-taping his gallerist to the wall, bizarre taxidermy, an empty gallery exhibition, and a famous sculpture of the Pope struck by a meteorite. Over his twenty-year career, Maurizio continued to provoke and inspire, culminating in 2011 in a final stunning solo exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City, after which he abruptly declared he would quit making art forever. Filmmakers interview curators, collectors, art-world luminaries, and ex-girlfriends as they attempt, perhaps in vain, to peel this onion of an artist, who’s always begging the question: This time, is he really to be believed?

“Not to be missed….a captivating excavation of Maurizio Cattelan’s disruptive career…” — Vogue

“Maura Axelrod’s film builds a compelling and intimate portrait. Bold, witty….as playful as a Cattelan work itself…” — BBC

“He’s dedicated his life to success in art, perhaps, more than to the art itself.” — Massimo De Carlo, art dealer
