J.R.R. Tolkien: Designer of Worlds (2014)
• December 2nd, 2014 • 0h 54min
Documentary, Fantasy
Overview
This is a story of a seemingly quiet and unobtrusive man, author of a colossal and partly unfinished literary work. We will try to trace back to the origins of his inspiration so as to understand why his work met and still meets with so much success. How did JRR Tolkien manage, through the power of words alone, to so widely instill wisps of magic in the midst of a particularly disenchanted 20th century?
