Louise Bourgeois - The Spider, the Mistress and the Tangerine

Aroview: At the ripe of age of 98, evergreen French artist and sculptor Louise Bourgeois continues to astound in this portrait of her captivating life's work.

Centred around interviews conducted with the artist in her 80s and 90s, the documentary also succeeds as a thorough retrospective of her sculptural trends and major themes, encapsulated best by her two most famous works, 'Spiders' and 'Cells'.

[Post-script: Ms. Bourgeois in fact passed away on May 31, 2010.]
