She lived as boldly as she painted. Born into a wealthy Polish family, she conquered Paris, made her mark in Hollywood and became an icon of modern art.
Today, her distinctive Art Deco paintings are coveted by collectors including Madonna, Barbra Streisand and Jack Nicholson, while her influence continues to shape fashion, music, design and popular culture.
Directed by Julie Rubio and narrated by Anjelica Huston, this visually rich documentary explores the extraordinary life and enduring legacy of a pioneering Polish painter whose works command millions at auction and whose story inspired the 2024 Broadway musical.
