Sinossi
Raccontare Jackson Pollock è come pedinare qualcuno di cui conosci già la destinazione. Per molti versi la sua vicenda ricalca il canone dell'artista maledetto, destinato a un finale tragico e fatale. Ma nel percorso di Pollock c'è una variabile che ne consente una lettura al confine con la fiction, ovvero il piano della CIA per dare vita a una nuova cultura "made in U.S.A."... E Jackson Pollock è la figura ideale per incarnare tale strategia, è un uomo selvaggio e incontrollabile e non ha niente a che fare con gli esangui artisti giunti negli States dall'Europa!
