Storyline:

A look at the creative process of celebrated photographer Sally Mann.

User review:

This film premiered at Sundance ’06 and I was one of a privileged few who chose an 8:00 am screening of something that sounded, on the face of it, macabre and grotesque. A friend who grudgingly accompanied had even lower expectations than I did.

We were blown away.

American culture as a whole has a neurotic, practically phobic relationship with death. The miracle of Cantor’s film-making in “What Remains” is that, like his subject, he manages to create art that takes as its subject on of our last remaining taboos, wringing beauty from a subject matter that, taken on the face of it, seems the polar opposite.

I will be purchasing the DVD when it is released, and setting my TIVO to capture this when it premieres on HBO. I will be one of those maddening people who forces friends, family, heck, even total strangers to watch something they have no desire to watch–and I suspect that by the end of a first viewing, they, like the friend who saw the film with me, will have been deeply and permanently moved by the experience.

    Superlative documentary about brilliant and controversial American photographer Sally Mann. It provides valuable insights into how she thinks and works and her deep bond with her husband and children.
    As a film and photography historian with a large and very comprehensive library, this excellent DVD is an important addition, and thank you for making it available at such a reasonable price.
