Movie Haiku:Fascinating doc traces the efforts of John Maloof after he suddenly finds himself in possession of boxes & boxes of haunting negatives (most of them never developed). Focus on the "Finding" part of this story & it is extremely well told. Maloof is definitely to be credited with making Maier--now deceased--a "big name" in the art world. But the woman herself remains elusive in this telling.
