Serendipity

Her bond with her family, any romantic relationships, and her friendships aren't really considered here; Serendipity focuses on Nourry and her art alone.

Nourry has provided attentive audiences with nothing less than a spiritual experience.

Per its title, "Serendipity" may allude to the ultimate casting vote of fate, but it also shows the young artist taking what control she can in directing her life, and her potential earthly afterlife too.

"Serendipity" can be an extremely intimate documentary, but there are other times when it is curiously remote in elucidating Nourry's artistic intentions. This is not a criticism.

Few films feel this immediate and vivid, and Nourry's abilities as a creator translate wonderfully to the medium.

For better and for worse, the film is both personal memoir and promo reel, and the emotions tend to be undercut by the self-marketing.

Looking back on her past works surrounding fertility, and documenting her navigation through her illness, this is an intimate yet powerful piece of filmmaking.

This impassioned, beautiful, life-affirming feminist film inspires rewarding contemplation about what are, as defined by Nourry, the essentials of life: health, love and art.

Thoughtful, contemplative, and deeply personal, French artist Prune Nourry's documentary Serendipity is an intimate glimpse inside the mind of a woman coping with the unexpected.

Artist and director Prune Nourry considers the intimate and personal in art and how it connects to her journey through diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer in her feature documentary Serendipity.
