Calvet

Hard-knock lives arguably don't come any worse than painter Jean Marc Calvet's, a can-you-top-this succession of horrors, from rape to racketeering to rampant drug addiction. Dominic Allan's engrossing doc follows this spirited art-world luminary as he revisits old haunts and searches for the son he abandoned for a life of crime. Calvet will attend this special screening, the latest in IFC's ongoing "Stranger than Fiction" series.
