Movie Reviews of Sister Wendy - The Complete Collection (Story of Painting / Grand Tour / Odyssey / Pains of Glass)
Movie Review: The Complete Sister Wendy
Summary: 5 Stars
I grew up in an environment of art critics including the Jansons whom my parents were close friends with and I can tell you Sister Wendy Beckett is dead on target in her unbelievable insight into art. Newcommers to her series should not be put off by any preconceived thoughts that this nun's presentation might be in any way naive or prissy. In fact I would not recommend this for the very young as she is not averse to delving into the earthier aspects of art when appropriate. She is not without humor either, but above all else Sister Wendy gets into the very soul of the artists she presents. The series on painting, which is the centerpiece of the collected works is itself a master work of art from the editing to the music to the wonderful detail of the choreographing of Sister Wendy's black habit as it cuts and moves across the frame. The series is all too short. One could only wish there were much much more.
