Summary:
Louise Bourgeois: The Spider, the Mistress and the Tangerine is a mesmerizing cinematic journey inside the world of the modern art legend and feminist icon. As an artist, Louise Bourgeois always worked on her own vigorously inventive and disquieting terms. In 1982, at the age of 71, she became the first woman honored with a major retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art. She went on to create her most powerful and persuasive work--the massive spider sculptures that have since been exhibited all over the world. Filmed with unparalleled access between 1993 and 2007, this documentary delicately sheds light on the ways in which her childhood traumas and memories became embodied in objects and installations. An intimate and human engagement with an artist’s world, this documentary is a comprehensive and dramatic work of creativity and revelation.

Summary:
When William Thorsell assumes command of Toronto's Royal Ontario Museum, he moves quickly to rejuvenate the beloved building on Bloor Street. As former editor of one of Canada's leading newspapers, Thorsell envisions an iconic public building— a bold gesture that will inject a shot of architectural amphetamine into the staid and sensible veins of Canada's biggest burg. Who to trust with such a venture? Enter Daniel Libeskind. More than a celebrity architect, Libeskind is a global brand linked to some of the world's most prestigious building projects. As Libeskind's unusual crystalline structure rises into the Toronto sky, Thorsell and Libeskind dance a high-tension tango. Budgets are blown. Timetables trashed. Citizens outraged. Tuned to contemporary debates on public architecture, The Museum charts the progress of Thorsell's grand scheme in an entertaining tale of art, ego and steel beams.
