Louise Bourgeois: The Spider, The Mistress And The Tangerine
Louise Bourgeois: The Spider, The Mistress And The Tangerine
A journey inside the world of a legend of modern art and an icon of feminism. Onscreen, the nonagenarian Louise Bourgeois is magnetic, mercurial and emotionally raw-an uncompromising artist whose life and work are imbued with her ongoing obsession with the mysteries of childhood. Her process is on full display in this intimate documentary, which features the artist in her studio and with her installations, shedding light on her intentions and inspirations. Louise Bourgeois has for six decades been at the forefront of successive new developments, but always on her own powerfully inventive and disquieting terms. In 1982, at the age of 71, she became the first woman to be honored with a major retrospective at New York's Museum of Modern Art. In the decades since, she has created her most powerful and persuasive work, including her series of massive spider structures that have been installed around the world.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Tupac was certainly a controversial artist, he was seen it two lights - the gangster, thug & by other was seen as a humble guy, a poet and an leader in the black community.I am a huge fan of Tupac's music and 90's rap generally so I naturally could not wait to see this film. Since watching it when it was first released over 10 years ago, I have now seen it probably well over 20 times.This documentary takes you through Tupac's life, from his days as a child growing up in poverty to his final days when he was shot. It is told in his own words, using his own voice. All his old interviews have been edited and put in an order in which this story can be told, it is done so well that you would not even think that it was done this way. His mother (who created this film) did an absolutely fantastic job.As this is created by his mother, she has all the rights to his music, interviews, photos, poems etc. The way the whole feature was put together is hard to believe that Tupac had no impact in the making of it, it is truly outstanding.I don't want to say anything too much as I don't want to give anything away, just go and see it! You don't have to be a massive Tupac fan, or even a massive hip-hop fan to appreciate this. A successful documentary will show you the whole story and more importantly both sides to a story, the ups and downs and all the controversy, which is exactly what this documentary does. Outstanding.10/10

I must say i thought it was very interesting to see this movie. I've only ever been a fan of 2Pac's music but have never taken my time to look at his life. As he said in the end of this movie "There is a Tupac in everyone" He did reach that spot in me. But I wonder if his killing will ever be solved. My guess is still Orlando Anderson. And now i really see what his contrubution has been to the world of music an discrimination. I wonder what have happened if his 3 albums where released while being alive. And if the rumors about Suge Knight had part in the plan of killing Tupac. But the next question about this man for me is would he still be famous in his world of music in the generation of music in 2006. One thing is a fact Tupac Shakur is a legend.

After watching almost everything related to Tupac Shakur and his life and learning by heart all his CD's I was more than excited when I sat down with my girlfriend ready to watch a documentary about the myth - this one made in co-operation with Afeni Shakur (Tupac's mom). Since Afeni Shakur has the rights to Tupac's work this movie is filled with Tupac's music which obviously is a great benefit - compared to "Biggie and Tupac" and "Thug Angel". This movie goes into the background of Tupac and describes how a young black male came up through hard situations that sculpted his mind. There isn't a big focus on his actual murder and no theories are presented about his death but the '95 shooting is described a little bit. If you are interested in Tupac and his life this movie is both informative and entertaining. I also have to recommend "Thug Angel", "Biggie and Tupac" and other films about Tupac to better understand some events and things in his short but remarkable life. Respect to Tupac, the best rapper ever. R.I.P.

2pac along with Biggie was the main reason why I started listening to Rap. Not only did he have good music, but he also had a story to tell and it influences not only his fans, but other rap artists. This documentary was very interesting to watch and I was amased to see what a strong minded man he was, which is why I respect so even more after seeing this masterpiece. Eminem, 50 cent, Jada Pinkett smith and Snoop Dogg are one of the few that have expressed their feelings towards his death. It was a tragic moment that is defenately not forgotten, but he has left us more music that gives most of us the impression that he is still alive. From his childhood memories to his career, he explains it all in his own words. This is no doubt one of the best documentaries ever to be released.
