BERT STERN: ORIGINAL MAD MAN
By Joshua A. TRILIEGI for BUREAU
of ARTS and CULTURE MAGAZINE
An original & personal film created by one of Bert's Stern's
longtime photographic subjects. This film is an insiders look
at Mr. Stern's life, career, his history & approach to creating
the images that the world of photographers and collectors
have come to admire , appreciate and purchase as well as
publish. Mr. Stern is famous for creating iconic portraits of
Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn and the
more contemporary models and actresses through the years
& up to the present day, including Lyndsey Lohan & Kate Moss.
This is a home movie of sorts, sometime vague, other time
s exacting, sometimes personal, other times professional.
Bert Stern has run the gamut, he's a character, an old schooler
from the golden era of advertising. Most famously photographing
what became Marilyn Monroe' s final photographic session for
Vogue Magazine.
Mr Stern was in the thick of New York when photographs
became the chosen media for advertisements which up to
that time relied heavily on drawings, graphics and illustrations.
Bert Stern is an artist who happened upon a camera and, as
many professionals will testify, transformed the industry of
photographic advertising, portraiture and selling an image.
This film is a casual look at Mr Stern, told by Bert Stern
himself, over a glass of wine, breakfast, after hours conversations.
We meet his loves, his successes, his foibles and witness his
comeback from a forgotten and obscure iconic image maker
to a collected and respected lion of the industry. This is a good
introduction to Mr Stern who continues to somehow keep himself
in the public eye, through controversy as well as revisiting the
themes and images that made him famous to begin with. We
suggest this film.
The film is presented by First Run Features which has a large
volume of documentaries on interesting, controversial and
obsessive personalities like Ferlinghetti, Phil Ochs, Mumia,
Charles & Ray Eames, Howard Zinn, Harper Lee, Fidel Castro
and Erroll Garner among others. In the politically correct world
of today's film and filmmakers, First Run Features has a brave
catalogue of feature documentaries that are controversial,
entertaining and fiercely original. Look for more Reviews of
