Sketch of a Sketch, 10 April 2007
6/10
Author: Jack Abdiel from Czech Republic

The best part about this film is the access to the personal relationship between Pollack and Gehry, but if you're looking for a poetic film about the architect then look somewhere else. Although not visually appealing in it's self the film does give you the feeling that you have just witnessed and walked through a museum of Gehry's work. Gehry's persistence of vision and explanation of the inspirations of his work was very inspiring to hear. I found myself walking out of the theater and for the first time looking at use of the indoor space, noticing how architecture can be an art form. Although, the film seems to be split up into free associating segments that when combined make a strange structure, maybe the filmmaker was trying to be free with the form of the film like a Gehry building. This loose structure made Gehry's philosophies and criticisms sound a little repetitive at times. I would have like to see general people's reaction to his work, instead of solely hearing opinions from other artists and architects. In the end it is a decent film and well worth it to see.
