If you're serious about art, and collecting and buying, here is a film that shows honest artists, not spoiled by college training, or the history of art or aesthetics. In fact, in their own way, are creating their own aesthetic. Without prompting, the artists state an artistic credo worthy of any artist anywhere.
Apart from the artists, the film features some very intelligent views on folk art, on trying to keep the innocence of the creation of it pure, while at the same time dealing with the artists' own gains in popularity.
In the end, it's the artist's own words that best represent what they are doing, and of course the work itself, of which you will see a lot. If you're looking for some back road charm, you can't get any better than Nova Scotia. After all these years, this film still holds up.
