Louise Bourgeois: The Spider, the Mistress and the Tangerine

Customer Reviews

Strong and surprising overview of a lengendary artist.

4 people found this review helpful.

Though fairly conventional "Louise Bourgeois: The Spider, the Mistress and the Tangerine" offers lots of solid information and is a must for anyone even remotely interested in her exceptional life. I appreciate that the filmmakers go to great lengths at depicting loving visual explorations of her sculptures, from small, abstract figures, to her famously grand installations.

Not a masterpiece but a fine effort.

Bourgeois is brilliant and this movie having taken 14 years to create shows many interesting aspects of her dynamic character as well as some very moving scenes.
I highly recommend this to every Bourgeois devotee.

Puzzled by her "art"

I so wanted to be inspired by this "artist".
I've read an expensive book about her.
I've watched this DVD about her.
I've spent many hours of my life trying to get motivated by her "art".
I must be really stupid not to "get" her "art".
Her work is a Museum of Modern Art material after all.
But, her "art" is like a bad case of Comme des Garçons production.
Her "art" is a total waste of precious space.
There is no beauty in her work.
