Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman

Dustin Hoffman narrates this enthralling documentary exploring the monumental career of 98-year-old architectural photographer Julius Shulman. A pivotal figure in American popular culture and the modernism movement, he populated his stunning images with human models and bold landscapes, always blending organic, living textures with urban design. And at 98, he is still taking photographic assignments and lecture invitations from around the world. With unprecedented access to his photographic archives, and the genial yet passionate Schulman in fine fettle, this documentary is a celebration of a life well-spent. Interviewees include Frank Gehry, Juergen Nogai, Edward Ruscha, Leo Marmol and Tom Ford.
