I recently saw a documentary called Eloquent Nude about the photographer Edward Weston and writer Charis Wilson. Quite good.
I'm watching that now, and it is indeed good. Charis had very special looks, and was/is an intense and bright person, and Weston of course was one of the greatest art photographers of the 20th century. One of the few who didn't make photographs, but pictures.

You shouldn't have posted that link, makes you look like more of an idiot than usual.
Shove any of these up your ass, Dick Breath.
Those prove people can cut and paste the same incorrect information, or share your own frightening stupidity.
Btw, it's sad when you can't even insult someone properly. Is this the 1950s?
I don't know that I'm interested in a documentary that uses reenactments - Ken Burns never does that. There must've been enough to go on without that - he took thousands of pictures. You don't need video.
Saw it, loved it. You can check out clips from the movie here to see if you'd be interested in seeing it.
O dear?!
I had the privilege of visiting Weston's home and darkroom in Carmel CA. His grandson lives there now and maintains the original darkroom. It's amazing what you can do with a light bulb. See: http://www.kimweston.com/
There are a few places where there's clearly reenactments. But all the main footage looks so convincing it'd have to be a semi-god who made it. Both in terms of how the persons looked and how the footage looked. If that really was reenactments, I'd love to see a documentary about how they did it.
