Movie Review: A brilliant impassioned eye
Summary: 5 Stars
Henri Cartier-Bresson is more than a photographer. This film about him, directed by Heinz Bütler, is based on interviews with Cartier-Bresson late in life, pondering over his own pictures. One cannot help being amazed at this man's work, his personality, and most of all; his inexplicable ability to be in the right place at the right time all over the world, helping us to remember certain historical moment, or everyday life, through the eyes of this special man. He has himself said: "for me photography is to place head, heart and eye along the same line of sight. It is a way of life", and through this film we can understand more how and why. Cartier-Bresson's pictures is meditative and beautiful, and in addition to show us much of his works, this film also leaves us with the impression that Cartier-Bresson was a wise and clear-sighted man. A must see for those interested in photography, or those just interested in a glimps into the life of one of the greater personalities of the last century.
Summary of Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Impassioned Eye
A wonderful, evocative biography of the man considered the greatest photographer of the last century. Cartier-Bresson?s life reads like a history of the century ? World War II, China, Egypt, Mexico, India, Sartre, Matisse, Ghandi (minutes before he was killed), and Cuba all became subjects of his famous "decisive moment" style. Interviews with Cartier-Bresson, Isabelle Huppert, Arthur Miller and other luminaries are woven into this indelible portrait of an icon of both photography and the world.Similar DVD Movies
