Mr. Chow, aka M (the artist), has had a life made for the movies, but it wound up as a documentary instead.
What I appreciated most was that it has a lot of him creating his art - which is messy in its making, as was his entire life. He attracted beautiful and smart women that he used to propel his businesses - a smart move. And to have babies with. Mr. Chow loves to replicate himself. AND he loves being replicated even more. His famous restaurants gave meals for portraits of him (of course) by very (VERY) famous people.
His finished art is light and airy and actually pleasant to look at. The fact he has an entire warehouse filled with it displayed in perfect order, the walls and floors finished in gleaming stark white, with glorious lighting, and Alexa doing her own thing, ignoring the fascinating Mr. Chow was a brilliant way to end this documentary.
