JERRY SCHATZBERG, LANDSCAPE PORTRAIT

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT :

“I wanted to make a documentary about Jerry Schatzberg and his photographic work. Jerry is known for his features made in the studio system in the US, among which “Scarecrow”, Palme d’Or in 1973, just 50 years ago, starring Al Pacino and Gene Hackman. His astounding photos (mainly street, fashion, film & music stars) comprise emblematic portraits of Faye Dunaway and Bob Dylan, among others. His long-time complicity with Michel Ciment, the famed French critic (who discovered him with the late Pierre Rissient), allowed us to film them both, exclusively, wandering and discussing around the latest great photo exhibition of Jerry in France.”
