“All the Beauty and the Bloodshed” @ CAT
February 8, 2023 @ 5:30 pm
All the Beauty and the Bloodshed is an award-winning documentary that follows the amazing journey of an iconic woman who fights big battles.
Directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Laura Poitras, All the Beauty and the Bloodshed is an epic, emotional and interconnected story about internationally renowned artist and activist Nan Goldin told through her slideshows, intimate interviews, ground-breaking photography, and rare footage of her personal fight to hold the pharmaceutical company, Purdue Pharma maker of oxycontin, owned by the Sackler family accountable for the opioid overdose epidemic in the United States. [2022, US, 122 min, Rating: NR]
In the continuing tale of the Sackler family’s wealth and philanthropic contributions to such high society art establishments such as The Met, victims and their surviving relatives have taken the family to task for its overtly targeted marketing of oxycontin. Based on the book, Empire of Pain and the 2021 series, Dopesick, All the Beauty and the Bloodshed is one woman’s story of pain and loss from the opioid epidemic. Ricardo Gallegos of the New Statesman says, “All the Beauty and the Bloodshed is a masterful conjunction of art, activism, and community. It’s a cathartic movie that depicts the world in all its rottenness but also the wonderful people that live in it.” Adam Nayman of The Ringer writes, “Whether speaking, seething, or vaping, Goldin is a uniquely compelling heroine.”
