Anchored by an audio interview long-thought to be lost, this entertaining and candid documentary explores the fascinating life of Peggy Guggenheim. An heiress to the wealthy Guggenheim family’s fortune, Peggy put together what was arguably the 20th century’s most impressive art collection and became an influential force in the art world, having shared personal relationships with such artists as Samuel Beckett, Max Ernst, Jackson Pollock, and many others. Robert De Niro (whose parents knew Peggy) is among those interviewed. 95 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
