Review of Sketches of Frank Gehry (2006) by Stacie — 11 Oct 2007
I saw this film at the 2005 Toronto International Film Festival. Somehow I expected an exploration of architecture with a movie camera by a real pro, but I was disappointed. Basically this is a fairly conventional documentary with talking heads and static views of buildings ? sometimes, it has to be acknowledged, beautifully enlivened by water or reflections of it as well as by the occasional drifting cloud.
The main problem of the this documentary consists in the fact that it is not clear what they wanted to show and explain to the viewers (the who, the what or the why) and it proves my suspicion that the exploration of the built world with the medium film or video still has a long way to go.
