What Cluster of Things
20 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I feel for Nan Goldin. She got screwed in the parent department. That said, this movie makes me think of the many 'near misses' we hear about at airports. I call it a movie because it doesn't feel like a documentary. It feels like a biography about a very messed up woman who is an exceptional photographer. Instead it was biography + documentary of her groups impact on the Sackler Family (spoiler alert...minuscule) + how her parents ruined her sister. Too fragmented for me. I wish it had spent 2 hours talking about PAIN's impact on the Opioid Crisis or 2 hours on her sisters short & painful life. The part about her own life focuses too much on sexuality & not enough on her photography.
