HENRY CARTIER-BRESSON: THE IMPASSIONED EYE
72 min, 2003
Director: Heinz Butler
Upon his death in 2004, photographer Henri Cartier -Bresson was mourned as “the father of photojournalism.” This documentary offers a rare moment alone with the camera-shy photographer as he explores his portfolio and offers detailed insight into the remarkable images that have moved millions. Focusing in particular on Cartier-Bresson’s widely acclaimed work from the period ranging from the ’40s through the ’60s, director Heinz Bütler explores the stories behind the photographer’s stunning images of such historical events as the death of Gandhi and the liberation of Paris.
