Esquisses de Frank Gehry
6.8
Quand Frank Gehry, un des architectes les plus ingénieux de notre époque demande à son ami, par ailleurs grande pointure du cinéma, de réaliser un long-métrage sur sa vie et son Œuvre, on obtient un doux mélange de didactisme et d’intimisme. Sydney Pollack, cinéaste néophyte en documentaire et en architecture, tente de nous livrer les clefs des œuvres et du processus de création de Frank Gehry dans une atmosphère décontractée. Il choisit les esquisses de l’architecte comme point de départ de ce documentaire. Sous l’œil effaré du spectateur, des gribouillis plus qu’abstraits se transforment en bricolage en carton puis en immenses bâtiments qui s’érigent dans les paysages urbains des quatre coins du monde.

Dennis Hopper: The Decisive Moments
7.5
The inevitable fat cigar between his fingers, the American actor, director and fine artist Dennis Hopper (1936) self-mockingly looks back on his chequered life and career, at the request of Dutch director, photographer and fine artist Thom Hoffman. The latter sifted through the turbulent life story of Hopper, who is primarily known from the cult film Easy Rider (1969). Hopper went through as many high as low points. In conveniently arranged chapters, Hoffman shows the decisive moments in Hopper's life and asks colleagues like Wim Wenders, David Lynch, Sean Penn and Julian Schnabel to comment on them. The documentary is richly illustrated with film excerpts, photos, newspaper articles and anecdotes. The main reason for this film was the retrospective of Dennis Hopper's art work in the Amsterdam Stedelijk Museum in 2001.

Lifeline: Clyfford Still
8
Jackson Pollock said, “he makes the rest of us look academic,” Mark Rothko acknowledged him as a “myth-maker” and Clement Greenberg called him “a highly influential maverick and an independent genius.” Clyfford Still, one of the strongest, most original contributors to abstract expressionism, walked away from the commercial art world at the height of his career. Extremely disciplined, principled, and prolific, Still left behind a treasure trove of works like no other major artist in history. With a wonderful mosaic of archival material, found footage and audio recorded by the artist himself, Lifeline paints a picture of a modern icon, his uncompromising creative journey and the price of independence.
