Interview. Gary Tarn. Hugues de Montalembert.

"Arguably the most unconventional documentary to air on television this year, Black Sun uses a series of remarkable audio interviews as a foundation for distinct ways of seeing the world around us," writes Jonathan Marlow, introducing his interview with director/composer Gary Tarn and his subject, painter/filmmaker Hugues de Montalembert.

"As an experiment in form, the concept behind Black Sun is far more ambitious than the execution," writes Eric Kohn in the New York Press. "Plot is secondary to the sole character's keen observations, which could conceivably give hope to others suffering from similar ailments. The rest of us can only watch in awe."

Black Sun premieres tonight on Cinemax.
