Leave your thoughts about Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Impassioned Eye.
| Upstage MagazineKam WilliamsNot a particularly overtly political documentary, yet effective, given that Monsieur Henri was most definitely blessed with an eye for freezing reality via the magic of still photography. |
| User ReviewAndré FReally great to hear the old master speak about his own work! |
| User ReviewGregory Wawesome doc about an amazing photographer told by himself. |
| User ReviewWalter MThe simplest of documentary films: spend 70 minutes in the company of the world's greatest photojournalist as he talks you through some of his favourite photographs from his archives. Nothing more, and nor need it be, because Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) was such a master of composition and light that any insights he can offer into his art of the 'decisive moment' are priceless. He has quite a sense of humour too, claiming that photographic inspiration sometimes deserts you but it always returns, 'just like a burp'. There's a fair helping of pseud-ish analysis dished up too by some of the other talking heads, but then this is photography we're talking about, so it's no great surprise. |
| User ReviewSV GGlorious. After watching it, I feel energized artistically. I knew that Bresson was amazing, but I had no idea his work encompassed so much, and every last bit of it is superb. The documentary itself is a little unfocused in terms of direction, but the material is good enough that it doesn't matter much. |
| User ReviewFlike SPhotography school. Right. Watch this, you may learn more. |
| User ReviewJonathan Smade me want to take pictures with a film camera again. |
| User ReviewAndrejs Pi saw this dudes exhibit at moma. one might think taking photographs and gettting a meaningful shot is pretty easy but it actually isnt. this guy travelled all over the place to take pictures, often times at important historical moments. he definitely had a knack for capturing a moment which today, we are able to reflect. |
