All the Beauty and the Bloodshed plot

This documentary follows the life of artist Nan Goldin, whose work has been exhibited all over the world. The demise of the Sackler family is also central. This was the pharmaceutical dynasty largely responsible for the unfathomable death toll from the opioid crisis. Many patients have died as a result of overdose or excessive use of opioids. The Drug Enforcement Administration has classified this death as epidemic since 2015.

Golden Lion in Venice 2022?

A thirteen in a dozen documentary that draws chronologically from the archive of photographer Nan Goldin. An ego document, told in a childish way: and then I moved here, and then there, and then I got into a relationship with Pietje and then a relationship with Marietje, and so on, and so on... without the documentary adding anything to the era as I already know it from books and films.

Oh yes, I didn't know the world famous photographer (with a difficult childhood) and now I do: a bohemian who takes 'ordinary' photos and apparently was lucky enough to break through in museums.

Oh yes, she also fights against the Sackler family, the pharmaceutical family that has become rich selling addictive drugs like Valium and oxycodone/oxycontin, which is why I wanted to see the documentary, as a former addict on oxycodone. Disappointment: The documentary is only about Nan Goldin's ego and a tiny teensy teensy bit about her activism.

Then the competition must not have been great...

Nan Goldwin is the most prominent face of a group of activists working to expose the wealthy Sackler family - wolves in sheep's clothing. That family invested a lot of money in prominent museums (including Guggenheim and the Metropolitan Museum in New York) and received a Sackler wing or department in return. But the Sacklers made their fortune manufacturing and marketing drugs so addictive that 150 people die every day from their effects. Begins with an eye-catching action, and Poitras uses that as an anchor point to look back at the turbulent, colorful life of a headstrong, persevering artist who has always followed her heart and accepted both the pleasant and the unpleasant consequences. A perfect combination of personal portrait and criticism of Big Pharma.

Ego document of a well-known American photographer.

the problem with these kinds of documentaries is that it is not interesting for the viewer if you have not experienced that period, the 70s/80s in new york.

polaroids and vague films pass by with people you don't know.

I didn't care, I actually felt like a kind of voyeur.

it's actually two movies, one about her life and one about the fight against the Sackler family.
