Vivian's life is somewhat similar to that of the famous painter Vincent van Gogh: she was unknown and poor, and became famous after her death. However, unlike Van Gogh's underappreciated encounter, what's interesting about Vivienne is that she has no intention of letting people know that she's a possibly "good" street photographer who spends her life trying her best to use "" Nanny" this trivial identity hides himself.

If you look closely, you can find that most of Vivian's photos revolve around dark and cruel themes in life, such as homeless people on the street, crying children... The capture of the dark side of society also reflects Vivian's life experience. Complexity. Perhaps only those who see through life can face the impermanence of the world with a calm attitude.

In fact, no matter what kind of art form, its value lies in reflecting human nature, such as jealousy, sadness, joy... The more complex human nature, the more attractive it is. The more charismatic a work is, the more it can stand the test of time, because time passes and human nature never changes. This is why, even when Vivienne Meier tried her best to hide herself, when her work is made public, it can still resonate with us today.

This is a person who knows what he wants, and life can be simplified to serve only one thing. Although it is too simple, it interacts with her paranoid character, forming her paranoid, not so humane and even eccentric, hateful middle-aged life. But if she warms up, is there still such a work? An artist may really not need a standard, even if she is completely unknown, she is artistic. With the intervention of others, her artistic qualities may be slightly discounted. But perhaps the reason why artists get married is also because they need to be embraced by the world, either with approval or comfort. Neither Vivienne nor Van Gogh had the chance to get these hugs. But in one's life, perhaps you don't need to do too much for a little hug. Do so many things in your life.

An unknown female photographer, talented, fond of collecting, withdrawn and delicate. A beautiful and lonely documentary, I was really moved by the end.
