Editorial Reviews
Review
"One of the most exquisitely intimate portraits not only of an artist's process, but also of a marriage and a life." --The New York Times
"The ordinary images Cantor's camera captures are transmuted into something extraordinary by Mann's." --Los Angeles Times
"A moving, sensitive portrait... Mann's strong family life and the gorgeous setting of her home in the American South are enviable, but we also witness the ruthlessness and moral enquiry needed to create lasting art." --NOW Magazine

Product Description
As one of the world's preeminent photographers, Sally Mann creates artwork that challenges viewers' values and moral attitudes. Described by Time magazine as "America's greatest photographer," she first came to international prominence in 1992 with Immediate Family, a series of complex and enigmatic pictures of her three children. What Remains--Mann's recent series on the myriad aspects of death and decay--is the subject of this eponymously titled documentary.
Filmed at her Virginia farm, Mann is surrounded by her husband and now-grown children, and her willingness to reveal her artistic process allows the viewer to gain exclusive entrance to her world. Never one to compromise, she reflects on her own personal feelings about mortality as she continues to examine the boundaries of contemporary art. Spanning five years, What Remains contains unbridled access to the many stages of Mann's work, and is a rare glimpse of an eloquent and brilliant artist.

The life and work and personality and emotions of Sally Mann are beautifully filmed and evoked, a must to understand her complex, rich, intense personality, her relationship with her children and particularly her husband is deeply touching. Some scenes when she is photographing dead bodies for her show and book What Remains are hard to cope with, but resonate in her artistic , so Southern soul in mixing life and death and love and memory so intensely

I saw this documentary at the Look Photo Festival in Virginia last June and it was incredible. It shed so much light on her thought process and ideas and even showed footage of her actually taking some of her most famed photographs. In my humble opinion, this film is definitely worth the price, if not more!

Great!
I think What Remains is a great documentary for any photographer to watch, but more than that any artist to watch. To see her way of life and her process of thought is wonderful.
