Her rhapsodic tribute to the teeming artistic apprenticeship that Paris soon offered her isn’t solely a vision of beauty: she also observed, and unsparingly recalls, the political and social ugliness with which she was confronted during her time there.
The filmmaker has what seems like a torrent of anecdotes and attendant ideas to impart, but the movie never feels rushed.
Ottinger takes us through this formative time of her life in a way that deftly balances past and present to paint a picture of a threshold era of both positives and negatives.
While Ulrike Ottinger accesses the most consequential of decades through nostalgia, she does so with humility.
