Summary

The unconventional creator of iconic children's books &NFi;Where the Wild Things Are&NFi_; and &NFi;In the Night Kitchen&NFi_; is given an equally idiosyncratic look in this diary-style documentary from directors Spike Jonze and Lance Bangs. In a series of conversations conducted over several years, Maurice Sendak is alternately reticent and forthcoming about his inspirations, his family history and what he'd like to accomplish in the future.
