Rating: 1/4 -- Overstuffed with biographical details and taking-head interviews with friends and hangers-on, it's over-didactic and dull. Full Review

Moving, incisive... chronicles the short life and decade-long career of the German-American sculptor and denizen of the 1960s art world with impressive command of both the scene Hesse found herself in, as well as the methods that led to [her] artwork. Full Review

It's a measure of Begleiter's documentary skills and her commitment to Hesse's work and vivid presence that such scant materials have resulted in a portrait that is so lively, intelligent, and moving. Full Review

Product Description:

Profiling German-born artist Eva Hesse, a pioneer in postminimal art who was known for her use of plastics in sculptures. Although she enjoyed critical success in New York City during the 1960s, her career was tragically cut short when she died of a brain tumor in 1970 at the age of 34. Marcie Begleiter wrote and directed this documentary.
