Good to Pull (Bon a Tirer)

About This Movie

"Good to Pull" is a fascinating little documentary that dives into the nuanced world of printmaking through the lens of Michael Mazur's work. The film captures his meticulous process of developing intaglio plates, particularly for his striking interpretations of Dante's "Inferno." It’s only 10 minutes, but you really get a sense of the intricacies involved in printmaking. The atmosphere is contemplative, almost meditative, as you observe the artist at work. The pacing feels just right—slow enough to appreciate each technique but brisk enough to keep it engaging. For anyone interested in the intersections of art and literature, this film offers a unique glimpse into how visual art can reinterpret a classic text. The practical effects here are all about the process, which is what sets it apart.
