Introspections and Reflections explores the relationship between Niki de Saint Phalle's work and her life, fraught with rage and suffering, and ultimately, regeneration and joy, and provides a context for one of the 20th Century's most complex female artists.

It is interesting & somewhat sad that I have never ever seen her name in the context of the late great William Burroughs "shotgun paintings" which essentially employ the same methods & processes Niki de Saint Phalle is engaging with, in this documentary. It is amazing what a selective memory the art & literary world has, though I guess it validates her as a true art outsider, no doubt she will become far better known in the future as a wider audience emerges who "get it". Excellent documentary.
