CompIeted in 2004, Leaving Home, Coming Home: A Portrait of Robert Frank was the first ever feature-length documentary about the legendary Swiss-American photographer and fiImmaker. OriginaIIy deemed too personal to be shown wideIy, the fiIm has just been authorized by Frank for theatrical reIease.
Shot in cinema-verité style between New York and Nova Scotia, where Frank now lives, the film captures Frank reflecting on a lifetime of image making that most famousIy produced The Americans, probably the most influential photographic book of the last sixty years. From the Lower East Side to Coney lsland, Frank revisits pIaces where he lived and photographed, unsentimentaIIy yet humorousIy noting the erosion of the New York he once knew. He recaIls his collaborations with the Beat generation, including his film Pull my Daisy , narrated by Jack Kerouac, as welI as his infamous Cocksucker Blues with The RolIing Stones.
Affectionate conversations with Frank's second wife, the vibrant artist June Leaf, reveaI decades of cIoseness, creative exchange and support through the intense tragedies of Frank's life. ln rare moments of vulnerability, Frank speaks movingIy about these tragedies and his attempts to cope through his deepIy personaI photography and films. UnembeIIished and unflinching, this portrait captures the life and art of one of the most significant and uncompromising artists of the 20th century. |
