During Covid lockdown, I helped a neighbour sort out his basement. He had two suitcases of undeveloped film, hundreds of photographs, letters and a few cameras which belonged to Vivian Maier. My neighbour owned a kids shoe shop in Brooklyn and was friends with Vivian.

Way more fun to be a photographer in those days it seems.

Very nice movie !

Any place to see the film online in 2024?

A fantastic documentary!

the history of fashion

She was a serial killer that's why she was hiding her work....

❤❤❤ I WANT TO GO BACK … life was much better

Where's the rest of these films?

I like how she focused on the woman wearing shorts and the funny hat. I imagine back then she was an outlier but today she would look perfectly normal.

One thing I can only say about her work... Remarkable !!

I'm an introvert who has a tendency to feel a bit misunderstood, and I loved this documentary so much. It inspired me to take up street photography as a hobby and find a sympatico hero in Vivian Maier. I love some of the interviews with people who knew her, particularly the grown up children she cared for as a nanny. All of them seem to have been effected by her quite deeply, and many of them in ways they don't seem to fully understand. It's really cool. It shows how introverts really are, far from being the socially unskilled people we seem to be. The real Vivian Maier didn't get found out until after she died. But now we know about her depth, compassion and interest in people. RIP Vivian.

This is the downtown Chicago I remember from my childhood. I love how it starts with the train ride to get you there and you emerge onto the street to see women in their colorful dresses.

What a shame the slimy lawyers and so called art experts stuck their unwanted noses into this amazing happening. For me, she was/is up there in the top 3 worlds best. All with no money or help or connections.

Maravilhoso

Edwin Starr's "War" was the #1 song that week, and the Cubs beat the Padres 8-4 that Friday.

Thank you for not interposing a soundtrack, it lets us view the footage on our own terms.

💞

It is impossible for me to see this film without wondering what happened to those people's lives.

This needs to be on Netflix 😭

Looks like she went out for the day, brought camera and film and just filmed, until she had used it all. What a way, to spend an exciting day. She looked to like filming reflections, in glass.

Wow. Love the way she includes bits of chronological detail so we can actually get an idea of the time she was filming. Would love to know if it was 8mm or Super 8. She liked to keep up with gear, so it may have been super 8.

Scary fact: 99,8 % of the people in this movie are dead. Including the film maker.

This is so cool to see, people actually dressed up when they were downtown. I was definitely born a little too late (mid-70s). I wonder what people will be saying about us when film/video/cell phone footage is uploaded on a video file sharing website in 50 years, if something like that will still exist?

"Beyond the Valley of the Dolls", 1970. Written by Roger Ebert, who had become friends with Russ Meyer after writing favorable reviews of several of his films. Interesting.

Not many overweight people at that time! Look at the people in any american city now....

The people criticising Vivian Maier in this film don't seem that credible. Perhaps they were just boring, run-of-the-mill people. Or maybe this is all just contrived for the film and for a reward of a few bucks. The crazier the artist, the more valued the good work is.

But is there a proof that she really took all that pix? After all is no record of her studying photography and at the same time even her earliest pictures are of an experienced photographer.

Ummm what is that at the start just asking

Wow! An actual printed newspaper! Remember those? A simpler time. Great video! Love it!

I wept when I saw this. The film exposed much of my own life. I, also was a 24/7 caregiver for years. What people must understand is... You give up much of your own life when you work like this. It's a very private, isolating, consuming, draining, joyful, heartbreaking, ....(etc.) -life (job). I, myself, I took care of seniors. I gave up years, years of my life doing it. Like Vivian, I'm a creative, and it's hard to be expected to be focused on others all the time when your passion begs at your heart. -Thus said, i have no regrets. I came to Love all those I cared for, but perhaps like Vivian, I also wondered if people really thought about what I was giving up.... to devote myself so much to them. Perhaps this is the reason I too, became a "collector." Living in other people's homes, if your lucky enough to have your own room (& bed, not a couch in the living room),... your privacy is VERY limited, time to yourself is very precious,.... Many people seem to be quite critical of Vivian, but I understand her. This lifestyle is not easy. I myself, Loved the people I cared for, but secretly sometimes craved the outside world, and to have a little piece of it myself. I may not be expressing my thoughts well enough, but I recognize Vivian was someone with a great deal of Love even if people saw her as odd. She deserved more respect, and shouldn't have died ALONE in the end. She lived her passion. She gave her life to people, and she worked on feeding her own soal. Thank You Vivian, you're beautiful to me.

I am just wondering if the couple at 6:26 were holding the newspaper up in front of their faces to prevent them from appearing on film?

You notice most of the women wore dresses..somthing you don't see very often

What is that in the beginning ? Sorry but i was not born in that timeline.

8mm has such a beautiful color to it! Looks even better seeing it on an actual projector!

Whats the name of the piano song at the end?????

I was going to say this looks about 1970 judging by the style. Then I checked out the movie " weekend with the babysitter" and it was from 1970.

Watching this now courtesy of showtime free preview weekend. not usually a topic that interests me but these photos are undeniably great.

The Chicago I discovered as a young man nearly 50 years ago.

feels like a stake out.... love it

Things you don't see anymore...people going to a porn movie in the middle of the day or people carrying hat boxes. Not too many fatties either.

Beautiful and inspired footage...and quite a diary of a different Chicago and time.

at 4:22 is that a guy? just askin

watch closely...did not see one woman wearing pants or jeans

i wanna cry when i see all those people, makes me feel i wanna live those days

Lame af, her photography is great, but there's nothing great about this tourist looking shit!

Dude has just found a modern time van Gogh
