Featured review
This is an interesting series of interviews with, and about, Frank Gehry. Frank is not especially deep or articulate, but that's the joy of his movie: You get to watch someone getting away with it. 99 percent of capitalism is designed to avoid risk, and produce bland consensus. But Gehry is the odd fish.
There certainly are stinky moments here, but not with Gehry. Listen to Barry Diller inarticulately try to persuade you that his lousy building based on boat sails is something exceptional. It's like listening to the football coach reading poetry. And there isn't enough landscaping in the universe to make the heinous Experience Music Project look good.
Anyone spreading sour grapes about Gehry should overtly deal with their own envy. There aren't many of Gehry's media creations that make me want to visit them, because there isn't much left to learn about them, after all their publicity. I'm not a huge fan of Gehry, and I appreciate that at least one detractor was included, but the movie is good. And Gehry is frequently amusing in his remarks and conflictedness. Pollacks lazy camera work detracts from the movie.
