Directed by Anthony Seck, Look at What the Light Did Now is a poetic, intimate look at one of the most idiosyncratic artists to ever sell a million records. In contrast to so many pre-fab pop divas, we see in Feist a musician who eschews slick L.A. studios in favour of recording in the living room of a French country house; who lets mistakes and happy accidents become essential elements of her songs; and who forsakes choreography and pyrotechnics in her concerts for handcrafted shadow puppetry and old-school overhead projectors. And we also see the rare pop star who casts ego aside to give equal shine and creative input to the producers, musicians, visual artists, photographers, puppeteers, projectionists and video directors who bring her musical and aesthetic vision to life.
