Alice Neel (2007)
Fine biography
29 August 2007 - 3 out of 5 users found this review helpful.
This was such a fine biography of a really ordinary women. The close-ups the film maker chose were familiar to those who love the subject's work and that of Chuck Close, one of the commentators. Alice Neel was actually a woman from an ordinary background, but this film pointed out the extraordinary contributions it's possible for such women to make. All it takes is the ability to recognize that no one can define you; Alice Neel was able to be a loving mother as well as an extraordinary artist. The work was close to the film maker, but it had the feeling of objectivity. I especially enjoyed the interaction between his father and the film maker and the scene of the grandmother and her grandson. Enjoy!
