Louise Bourgeois: The Spider, the Mistress and the Tangerine is a fascinating cinematic journey inside the world of the modern art legend and feminist icon. 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.
Further Information:
This feature-length documentary received a national theatrical release in 2008, on the heels of her immensely successful Guggenheim retrospective.

Uncommonly elegant and evocative
| 2009-03-05 Variety
Complex, utterly fascinating.... Cajori and Wallach navigate this biographical quicksand with commendable finesse.
| 2009-03-05 Chicago Sun-Times
A fascinating documentary.... Like one of her massive spiders, [Bourgeois] seductively pulls you into a world that is not soon forgotten.
| 2009-03-05 Artforum By Lauren O'Neill-Butler
This atmospheric portrait of Bourgeois bypasses the dryness of most art documentaries. It resembles instead a work of art in its own right, no doubt fueled by the uncanny sight of an artist revisiting her ideas from over forty years ago with vivid clarity.
| 2009-03-05 Chicago Newspaper
Louise Bourgeois is a pitiless, commanding presence, and this enveloping portrait by Marion Cajori and Amei Wallach reaches deep into the psychological forces that have shaped her work.
| 2009-03-05 The Art Newspaper
A deeply affecting and compelling portrait.... That this film can capture and convey both the emotions and the results of their transmutation to such great effect is a considerable achievement.
| 2009-03-05 Art in America
Clearly a labor of love...visually and emotionally engaging.... Seamlessly meshes biographical information, contemporary art history and theory, without displacing the overall personal tone of the piece.
