Acclaimed film director
Sydney Pollack took a five-year break from the realms of fiction to assemble a lovingly crafted tribute to longtime friend and acclaimed architect
Frank Gehry in this
documentary born from the sketches of its talented subject. A notoriously shy craftsman whose impressive body of work includes the
Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao,
Ghery is shown working in his studio unobstructed as
Pollack attempts to capture the very essence of the artist's bold works through use of film and digital video. Driven by an intimate but informal series of discussions between
Ghery and
Pollack,
Sketches of Frank Gehry uses the subject of architecture as a launching point to discuss the creative process, and paints a fascinating portrait of how one humble man was able to create some of the world's most awe-inspiring structures. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
