F.Y.I.
Vivian Dorothea Maier: February 1, 1926 – April 21, 2009
REVIEW
A fascinating documentary about a nanny who had a private
side to her which only came to light after her death: she was an accomplished
photographer who did not exhibit her work.
Although the question of “why not?” is not really answered
we are provided some insight to the woman from people she cared for or those
who employed her. Interspersed with these interviews are many of the 100,000
still photographs and snippets of 8-mm home movies she took over the years.
As one movie-goer has so succinctly put it “Interesting
photos from a most unusual/troubled woman. Interesting film.” I agree.
