A film freewheeling through the incredible life of art collector Peggy Guggenheim, the self-described 'enfant terrible' of the Guggenheim family with an insatiable passion for modern art. The documentary centres on previously unheard recordings of Peggy’s final interview, and includes reminiscences and analysis by everyone from art historians and critics to Robert De Niro. We hear Peggy talk about everything from discovering artists like Jackson Pollock to her string of lovers, including Samuel Beckett and John Cage, and learn about a life filled with tragedy and joy. A fascinating portrait of a fascinating woman.
