''William Kurelek's The Maze'' is a documentary film about the life of celebrated Canadian artist William Kurelek, "dramatically told through his paintings and his on-camera revelations."〔 The film documents the artist's struggles with attempted suicide and what he called a "spiritual crisis." At the center of the film is Kurelek's work ''The Maze'', which he describes in the film as “a painting of the inside of () skull which () painted while in England as a patient in Maudsley and Netherne psychiatric hospitals.”〔Grubin, David & Robert M. Young (Directors) (2011). ''William Kurelek's The Maze'' (Motion picture). Los Angeles: MachinEyes.〕 This painting depicts a man’s "unraveled head lying in a wheat field. A curled up laboratory rat, representing his spirit, is trapped inside a maze of unhappy thoughts and memories."〔("About the Film" ), ''William Kurelek's The Maze (Official Website)'', 2011. Retrieved on 11 August 2013.〕 ==Story== William Kurelek (1927-1977) was the son of Ukrainian immigrants to Canada. Although demonstrating artistic talent in his youth, William’s ability was ridiculed by his father, who did not see the value of his interests. The self-doubt his father instilled in him brought on suicidal despair and institutionalization. He spent a year in a British mental hospital and didn’t overcome his spiritual and emotional crisis until he converted to Roman Catholicism in 1957. Ultimately, Kurelek made a name for himself as a landscape painter and a highly regarded illustrator of children’s books.〔 In the film, Kurelek reflects on his artistic development under the disapproving eyes of his father. Many paintings besides ''The Maze'' are featured in the film, accompanied by the insights of Kurelek and others, including three psychiatrists and a priest. Members of Kurelek’s family are also interviewed, including his wife, sister, mother, and father, "who begrudgingly admits pride in his son’s success, though he would still have preferred a more masculine and lucrative occupation for William."〔
