This film, The Photographer, is well worth seeing, especially if you're interested in a creative life. At the beginning, our hero the photographer has had an amazing rise to stardom in the New York art world. Then - he can't seem to shoot anything but junk. The rest of the film is about - well, about what happens then.
I won't spoil it for you by telling what happens then. Even if I did, words couldn't possibly do what the film does. The photography in the film is superb throughout.
The only reason I'm giving it 3 stars instead of 4, is that there were times when a scene became a little tedious. My partner didn't like the second half as much as the first. And there's a slightly supernatural air to the film that some will like better than I did. Still - I recommend it highly. It's different, and about as far from "junk food" film as one can get, while still being entertaining.
