Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman

My Rating:
Run time: 83 min.
Julius Shulman’s place in the modernist architecture scene of Los Angeles in the middle of the 20th century cannot be undersold. As the favorite photographer of architects and designers from Frank Lloyd Wright to Charles Eames, Shulman populated his photos with human models and striking landscapes, combining the organic with the synthetic, melding nature with revolutionary urban design. The resulting images helped to shape the careers of some of the greatest architects of the 20th century. Bricker’s fascinating portrait is a testament both to the art of the mid-century California modernists and to a brilliant photographer who captured its indelible images. Narrated by Dustin Hoffman.

Enjoyable documentary, Schulman is an engaging subject and his images are gorgeous. The tempo of the film is a bit erratic and the digital effects are sometimes overdone but it's still a worthwhile film.
