Dokumentation von Rudij Bergmann. Der deutsche Maler Neo Rauch, 1960 in Leipzig geboren, gehört zu den wichtigsten und erfolgreichsten Wegbereitern der "Neuen Leipziger Schule". Rudij Bergmann gelang es als erstem Filmemacher überhaupt, ein informatives und vor allem authentisches Porträt des einst so medienscheuen Malers zu entwickeln. Er begleitet ihn zur Einzelausstellung im Metropolitan Museum in New York, die im Mai 2007 stattfand, und in sein Leipziger Atelier. Neo Rauch spricht über die Entstehung seiner rätselhaften Bildwelten - vom kleinen Farbklecks auf dem Boden bis hin zur Verwirklichung und Vollendung auf Leinwand - sowie die Bedeutung seiner Heimat Leipzig als Grundlage und Inspiration seiner Kunst.

A documentary on contemporary American artist Bruce Nauman, known for his challenging, yet playful approach to onceptual art. This is observed in his public art installation Vices and Virtues, consisting of huge neon signs that flash the seven deadly sins. Through a diversity of media, including sculpture, video, printmaking, and performance, Nauman uses art to examine communication and the human experience. Make Me Think features 60 of his pieces, including early film projections and video installations like Clown Torture and Anthro/Socio, and chronicles the development of a "video sculpture" titled Violent Incident. Wrote Michael Kimmelman, chief art critic of The New York Times, Nauman "inspires reverence, or loathing...It's hard to feel indifferent to work like his." In English.
