Description

This is a love story from one artist to another. Sydney Pollack, who knew little about architecture except what he himself admired, was invited by his friend, the renowed architect Frank Gehry, to make a documentary about Gehry's life and working methods. Pollack, one of the American cinema's grandest forces, actor, producer and, most famously, director of such enduring classics as They Shoot Horses Don't They?, Tootsie, Out Of Africa and The Way We Were, was persuaded. The result of this collaboration between two friends is very special: Gehry is naturally at ease in front of Pollack's camera. Their rapport stems from deep mutual respect and the depth of insight culled from their experience as artists. Armed with a video camera, Pollack dips into the highlight of Gehry's life, tracing his youth, his first marriage and his exponentially growing fame. Facing a creative block early in his career, Gehry ended up in the care of a psychiatrist, whom Pollack interviews and whose understanding of the creative mind unlocked Gehry's imagination. Freed from his crisis, Gehry eventually created such magnificent structures as the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and the Walt Disney Concert Hall In Los Angeles.
