FINDING VIVIAN MAIER
Directed by John Maloof, Charlie Siskel
USA, 2014, 83 minutes, documentary
In 1950s and '60s Chicago, an enigmatic nanny moonlighted as a street photographer. Her remarkable images, which were never exhibited, were discovered by director Maloof, who began to investigate her but discovered little. When he posted her photos, a "star" was born. Framed as a riddle to be solved, this absorbing film is partly a meditation on who gets to sanctify work as art, and why. It's also the story of a single woman who found freedom and her voice.
Academy Award Nominee for Best Documentary.
"Maier is a great artist who discounted adulation entirely. Her life was a masquerade; her genius, quite literally, was unexposed. . . ."
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
