All the Beauty and the Bloodshed

What a remarkable life Nan

Goldin has had. In this superb documentary, Laura Poitras lays out the photographer’s chequered history – from family tragedy as a child to involvement in Boston and New York’s creative and LGBTQ+ underclass, which Goldin captured in intimate, often stark images. This is interspersed with her activism, currently focused on making the wealthy Sackler family accountable for the wave of addiction caused by their painkiller OxyContin, which Goldin herself was once hooked on. A great insight into a great artist.
