Sketches of Frank Gehry (M) 82 mins
Synopsis: Director Sydney Pollack has made his first feature length documentary on the acclaimed architect , Frank O. Gehry. The two men have been friends for many years , and Pollack completed the film over a period of five years. Frank Gehry loves to sketch; it is the beginning of the architectural process. Frank Gehry is that rare kind of architect who has garnered both critical acclaim and popular recognition. His designs dramatically blur the line between art and architecture; his sketches and models are the basis for dynamic structures and unpredictable interiors. Gehry's friend, Sidney Pollack, directs this film; akin in nature to Gehry's own impromptu, free-hand style, the two men appear on film together, capturing this shy, elusive artist and illuminating his innovative process--including expansive depictions of Gehry's most important architectural wonders across the globe.
