A painstaking and accessible portrait of Frank Gehry by his friend Sydney Pollack provides an insight into how this great architect transformed messy sketches full of round shapes into the design and the construction of the most remarkable and world-famous buildings. Cinema.nl: Pollack decided to follow Gehry with a small camera that would not intrude too much on the atmosphere that normally prevails when the men converse together. The approach works. This is Pollack’s first documentary and, through his eyes, we see how Gehry largely trusts his intuition. In between, the Canadian explains his dilemmas, the film contains interviews with friends, admirers and critics, and the camera glides in an almost sensual way along the walls of Gehry's Guggenheim Bilbao and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. --English spoken, Dutch subtitles--
