This film took me by surprise as I thought it would all be aimed at the art she has done. This film turned out to be romantic and very dramatic when it came to her lovers and her disability in her back. It explained how she coped with serious situations and she expressed herself by putting her emotions and sadness into her paintings. She had disturbing but interesting paintings in this movie and they all showed a story behind them. When watching this film I was intrigued to stay watching as its something that I wouldn't usually watch but i'm glad I did. It can show people totally different perspectives on looking at art because you never know there is a story behind it. I think this movie was originally made in Mexico because the weather was in there favour for this movie to start its production. It has taught me a lesson not to judge someones work by what you can see. For now on I will look further into a piece and see what story I can learn and how I can discover certain things just by looking at paintings etc. This film was unique and different to watch but i'm glad i got to experience it.
