In the Realms of the Unreal DVD

Elderly recluse Henry Darger spent his childhood in an Illinois asylum for feeble-minded children and his adulthood as a janitor. After his death in 1973, his landlady discovered some 300 paintings and an illustrated novel about seven angelic sisters — the creative genius beneath Darger’s quiet demeanor. Narration and imaginative animation bring to life one of the 20th century’s greatest self-taught artists. Includes additional feature footage. 82 minutes.
