At the age of 80 the sculptor Jacques Lipchitz is still working with undiminished energy. He is, as he says, 'not 80 years old, just four times twenty.'
Born, like Chagall, into a Jewish community in Tsarist Russia, he made his name in the brilliant world of pre-war Paris. Since 1941 he has lived in the USA, but this film also shows him at work in Italy.
Lipchitz looks back on his life and work and talks with humour and insight about his lifelong pursuit of artistic freedom.
