Our take
Known for her mixed-media artworks and monumental sculptures, artist-filmmaker Niki de Saint Phalle makes the dreamscape of her second film vividly material. Colorful fiberglass forms, fire-breathing dragons, and plaster-of-paris phalluses populate this surrealist tale of innocence and experience.
