Synopsis: 
Now the top-selling female artist in the world, Yayoi Kusama overcame countless odds to bring her radical artistic vision to the world stage. For decades, her work pushed boundaries that often alienated her from her peers and those in power in the art world. Kusama was an underdog with everything stacked against her - the trauma of growing up in Japan during World War II, life in a dysfunctional family that discouraged her creative ambitions, sexism and racism in the art establishment, mental illness in a culture where that was a particular shame. In spite of it all, Kusama has endured and has created a legacy of artwork that spans the disciplines of painting, sculpture, installation art, performance art, poetry, and novels. Director Heather Lenz brings audience to experience the infinity world of this remarkable artist. Selected by Sundance Film Festival for US Documentary Competition.

《點止草間彌生》是一部探討殿堂級藝術大師草間彌生成名之路的紀錄片。這位波點女皇驟眼看似一位「怪婆婆」，戴著紅色bob頭假髮，風格搶眼招搖，創作力量同幻想依舊會嚇你一跳。她用波點及網畫繪畫出自己的世界，密集網點看似怪異，其實是她的「以有涯隨無涯」。她只知道，藝術是她的解藥、她的救贖、她的生命……導演Heather Lenz帶你回戰後的日本看草間的根本，回顧她如何在紐約和日本藝壇立足，及與Andy Warhol、Joseph Cornell等大師的相遇相知，草間彌生更親自為往事解說，在點點之間，串連出她的傳奇故事。電影入選辛丹斯電影節紀錄片競賽單元。
