"Usually, almost always, the mice are shown with their nose at the bottom of the head and seen that way. And by lifting the head up and seeing their mouths shrieking, they became human."
Maus will always be one of the greatest graphic novels ever written and seeing Art Spiegelman talk about his life story and his journey towards writing his harrowing memoir of his father's experience in the 2nd world war was a really great companion piece to anybody who has read the graphic novel.

The edit could’ve been a bit tighter, especially the interviews with people that seem to only have been inspired by Art. Considering that there are new interviews that were conducted with Art Spiegelman, they feel especially redundant. Some scenes even make it so they repeat points that Art makes.
Another small issue is the lack of Françoise. The docu makes light of the huge role she has in Art’s life, but she is barely seen (talking or otherwise) nor mentioned.
Anyways, despite the criticisms mentioned, this is a worthwhile watch – both for fans of Art’s works, anyone who appreciates art in any form, or just someone looking for an interesting watch.
