An acclaimed photographer with the eye of a filmmaker, Gregory Crewdson has created some of the most gorgeously haunting pictures in the history of the medium. His meticulously composed, large-scale images are stunning narratives of small-town American life-moviescapes crystallized into a single frame. While the photographs are elaborately staged with crews that rival many feature film productions, Crewdson takes inspiration as much from his own dreams and fantasies as the worlds of Alfred Hitchcock, David Lynch, Edward Hopper and Diane Arbus. Crewdson's imagery has also infiltrated the pop culture landscape-from inimitable Six Feet Under ads to Yo La Tengo album art. Shot over a decade with unprecedented access, Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters beautifully bares the artist's process-and it's as mesmerizing and riveting as the images themselves. Review: Amazing photogrpher - Love this photographer. Worth your purchase Review: fictional photo-journalist - See the picture (in your mind) build the picture (in the real world). Why not build a photograph? Not a fake something presented as real (documentary) but something emotionally authentic (fiction).

A fantastic insight into the psyche and creative drive behind a remarkable and inspiring photographer. I will watch this with my students again and again.

I've been looking forward to this...
I've been a follower of Crewdson's work, in particular his ambitious "Beneath the Roses" project, and was hoping that this documentary about him wouldn't somehow disappoint -- I'm happy to say that it delivered, for me, on all levels: I learned more about the man and his development as an artist, I learned more about the way he develops his image concepts in "pre-production," and I learned more about his shooting methods. We viewers are fortunate that the filmmaker had access to Crewdson over the course of a number of years, so there is a very real sense of process and development, rather than the compression of a rather large story into a manageable number of shooting days.

Amazing work, simply amazing!
Loved, loved, loved Crewdson's photography. One of the most impacting photography books that treats the artist as well as the art he produces honestly and sensitively.

Excellent Insight
A great glimpse into Crewdson's work from behind the scenes shoots, to interviews with him and friends/colleagues. A must see for any fan or anyone interested in contemporary photography. Also, very inspiring to see how his work and process evolved over time for a photographer.

I like the book but
I like having the book but the DVD documentary is more fascinating for a newcomer. I do like the book and never realized everything he went through to set these photos up. Like many things I thought it was all digital manipulation. Get the book after you have seen the video if you want.

Very good inside view of how Crewdson thinks and works
Very good inside view of how Crewdson thinks and works. You get to see the actual set ups and process of various photographs which are as much work as a film set.

Ho visto questo documentario al Cinema, alla presenza del Regista Ben Shapiro che ha seguito Crewdson per 10 anni. Davvero un ottimo lavoro per conoscere questo artista in particolare, il suo modo di lavorare, di vedere. I set cinematografici che allestisce per ogni sua foto. Ed è veramente interessante, a mio avviso, per chi ama la Fotografia. Lo consiglio. Buona visione! ;)

Bon produit, super film. Le seul souci étant qu'il est impossible de mettre des sous-titres français. Il suffit d'avoir un assez bon anglais, d'autant plus qu'ici c'est la beauté des images qui prime.
