One man's wild, lifelong adventure of testing society's boundaries through his subversive art, Far Out Isn't Far Enough: The Tomi Ungerer Story combines traditional documentary storytelling with original animation culled from seven decades worth of art from the renegade children's book author and illustrator.

Using a palette of 20th century events to paint an artist's epic yet controversial life story, the film offers a retrospective of Ungerer's life and art, and ponders the complexities and contradictions of a man who, armed with an acerbic wit, an accusing finger and a razor sharp pencil, gave visual representation to the revolutionary voices during one of the most tantalizing and dramatic periods in American history.

"Easily the most wildly fascinating artist profiled in a documentary since CRUMB."
- Movies.com

" Excellent." - The Washington Post

"CRITIC'S PICK! Ungerer's eloquence and luminous eyes command attention. Charming animated sequences offer a tantalizing taste of this creator's singular talents. Captivating!" - The New York Times

"Thoroughly entertaining!" - The Hollywood Reporter

"The film brilliantly incorporates Ungerer's art - innocent, sexual, political and personal - into its visuals in ways that are as instructive as they are delightful." - The Boston Herald

"Excellent! As intriguing as the facts are, much of the film's charm is the way in which it embeds the work - the imagery keeps coming to life." - Los Angeles Times
