Heinz Butler's documentary about famed photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson is deeply frustrating because of its brevity and its lack of solid information and historical context.
01/17/06
Top CriticSince Cartier-Bresson died shortly after filming was completed, at age 95, it stands as a rare record of the thoughts and mannerisms of a man who lived through the camera but preferred to avoid its all-seeing eye.
01/13/06
There is no theme, no point, no history, no illuminating insights.
01/13/06
Top CriticWhat distinguishes Cartier-Bresson's photographs, and what makes him a great artist, is his consistency and compassion.
01/13/06
Any documentary that shows so many Cartier-Bresson images has worth (though why they couldn't be shown in tighter close-up is a source of considerable frustration).
01/13/06
Top CriticThis austere documentary portrait of the pioneering photojournalist is not a biography but an interview conceived as a master class on art appreciation.
01/12/06
Top CriticThe Impassioned Eye makes that genius disarmingly accessible.
01/11/06
Top CriticWhen the photographer perks up the results are delightful.

Top CriticI'm not sure if this wispy doc is a preferable alternative to an intimate evening at home flipping through a Cartier-Bresson photo collection.
12/27/05
The movie is content to let Cartier-Bresson muse unremarkably.

Does anyone still need to be persuaded of Cartier-Bresson's greatness? The famous faces Bütler interviewed add to our sense of the photographer's accomplishment only when they supply personal details.
