Tell Them Anything You Want: A Portrait of Maurice Sendak
Filmmakers Lance Bangs and Spike Jonze present an intimate look at the life of noted
children's book writer and illustrator, Maurice Sendak, a seminal talent at times conflicted
with his success and whose lifelong obsession with death has subtly influenced his work.
Now 81 and living in Connecticut, Sendak is best known for his first (and most famous)
book, Where the Wild Things Are, which he wrote after being a book illustrator for over
10 years. Though it was originally panned, Wild Things would eventually become one of
the most beloved and critically lauded children's books of all time and, to Sendak's
chagrin, came to define his career. Through his words, old pictures and illustrations, Tell
Them Anything You Want offers a deeply personal look at an otherwise private and
somewhat isolated man. Read more.
