Documentary

In their third documentary about the Maysles’ artists, the filmmakers follow the group as they attempt three installations: draping Paris’s historic Pont Neuf, covering Berlin’s Reichstag, and encircling eleven man‑made Florida islands with pink plastic sheeting. Only the Florida project receives permission, so it dominates the film.
