"Finding Vivian Maier" ::

I've been watching this film which is now available streaming on Netflix. I got the notice late last month that it would soon be available and I happened to remember it this evening so that is what I've doing. I've kind of been following the story of her discovery for the past few years and I'm happy to finally be able to see the film.

The first part of the film concentrates on her work, how it was discovered, and the lengths to which needed to be taken to preserve the work. The second half of the film delves more into her personal life and her work as a nanny with interviews with many of the people for whom she worked. Unfortunately, this section brings up some very disturbing aspects of her personality.

If you have a Netflix account take an hour and a half and watch the film. It's well worth the time.
