Beginning with a documentary, a man found art photos from a pile of scraps. The man uploaded them to the Internet and was sought after. He was aroused by the attractive photos and made up his mind to discover the deceased author Vivienne Maier. In the eyes of people, Vivian is stubborn and conservative, not approachable. She is a nanny by profession and has worked as a servant in many families. One of her employers has the impression that she is dressed rotten and looks like a factory worker.
Outsiders think she is French, but in fact she was born in New York, but her hometown is indeed in a small shepherd village in France. She has few friends. In the eyes of others, she is a "strange" person, with no husband, no children, and both parents dead. , may have lived a lonely life. However, Vivian has a pure and beautiful side in her heart. She is very kind to children and may be a beautiful and interesting person when she is young.
She has a rolleiflex camera that's not easy to spot, so taking portraits of people on the street won't be noticeable, what struck me was the scene in the documentary, where she was the babysitter for one of the family's sons Being hit by a car, Vivian's first impulse was not to help him up, but to pick up the camera to take pictures, which was very "Vivian".
She is very concerned about politics and what happens in society. She uses her video recorder to go to supermarkets and other places to interview passers-by's thoughts on politics. She can take pictures, record videos, and even make movies to record. She is a mysterious person who travels many cities alone, taking her camera with her and taking thousands of pictures.
But she is very private, doesn't want to be noticed, doesn't want to be famous, maybe this documentary is offensive to him.
