The Desert of Forgotten Art

The Desert of Forgotten Art is a documentary about a really fascinating story! a man in 20th century Russia salvages a ton of folk and otherwise censored art and establishes a truly incredible museum in Uzbekistan. however, i was a bit bored by the actual documentary. i feel it just didn't do the topic justice. and i was frustrated by the footage of the art - i found it too rushed. granted, i do really like to take my time looking at art, really drinking in all the delicious details. and man, there was some really incredible art. i never would have thought "go to a museum in Uzbekistan" would become one of my "things to do before i die.."
