Hey @Arizona
I hope you enjoy the movies! I think if you've read the biography first you get more out of them. One movie I watched was deliberately out of sequential order so it made it hard for viewers to understand unless you read the book first otherwise it doesn't hold as much appeal.
Have you heard of Vali Myers? She was a Melbourne born bohemian artist and many famous people bought her work as part of their private collections. She had a wild and shocking appearance but was a soulful and caring person. I love her art.
A documentary film was made about her called "Tight rope Walker" I have watched it and she was as delightful as Frida Kahlo. I loooved that documentary!!! Try and get it. I still have a DVD copy.
I did come across a friend of hers online who was handling her affairs after she died. She had a collection of Vali's writings and pictures that were put into a book like random diary entries. I have never read it but I did see Tight rope Walker.
Here is a picture of Vali Myers:
