Will his expert skills be enough to uncover its hidden secrets?
"This four-part documentary, directed by Morgan Neville, is less a profile or biography than an evocation of a vibe and an exploration of a sensibility. It's an invigorating ramble around a singular mind and a restorative meditation on creativity."
