His inventive films explored his fascination with mortality. Director Korbett Matthews wraps Cole's haunting film footage around interviews with his family and friends to construct a fitting meta-narrative for a man whose art and life were indistinguishable. Dreaming of conquering the Sahara, and armed with only with his Bolex camera, Cole made the gruelling 7,300-kilometre, 11-month journey by camel across the desert. Over the next 10 years, Cole worked obsessively on the film he shot , Life Without Death. The Man Who Crossed the Sahara is a gripping cinematic tale of artistic passion taken to the limits of human endurance. See less
