Check out the exciting tell-all track on Spotify, below. https://open.spotify.com/album/2uL9lH4pvsdPfkEMuetPTT?si=PAtnJEZgSg6mADsUhe_iYg True to THE HARA’s mission, this track is a little bit absurd, a little bit chaotic, and a whole lot of fun.

HBO Max Premieres Oscar-nominated ‘All The Beauty And The Bloodshed’ (Review)

The latest and greatest from filmmaker Laura Poitras ('Citizenfour') is a captivating look at the life and career of artist Nan Goldin. In 'All The Beauty And The Bloodshed,' Poitras takes us far beyond the artistic achievements of a remarkable woman. The film was awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, only the second time in the fest's history that a documentary won the honor. Sadly, it lost out to the timely 'Navalny' at the Oscars this year in the Best Documentary Feature category, It should find a much bigger audience on HBO Max than it did during a brief theatrical release last fall. Nan Goldin in 'All The Beauty And The Bloodshed' (NEON/HBO Documentary Films) The Verdict 'All The Beauty And The Bloodshed' was in my Top 10 for 2022, so you can safely presum...
