See the films the platforms disagree about most →A renowned and intensely private artist, known for creating unsettling and provocative works, is approached by an ambitious biographer seeking to write the definitive account of her life. The artist reluctantly agrees, but the process of revisiting her past traumas and inspirations threatens to dismantle the carefully constructed boundaries that protect her creativity. The relationship between subject and writer becomes a tense psychological duel over who controls the narrative of a life.
