Bernard Aptekar: The Opera Of The Floating World

This documentary explores the life and legacy of a visionary artist who devoted himself entirely to his art, refusing to compromise for commercial success or public approval. Unrecognized in his lifetime, he remained unwavering in his pursuit of truth and creative integrity. Through intimate interviews, personal archives, and a reflection on his battle with Alzheimer’s and dementia, the film reveals a portrait of an artist who stayed true to himself until the very end — a story of devotion, loss, and the enduring power of art.
