‘Avedon’ Review: Ron Howard’s Thrilling Documentary About Richard Avedon, the Great Photographer Who Turned Head-On Portraits Into an Art Form
Richard Avedon was a paragon of high fashion and also the ultimate democratic humanist. The film explains that paradox and makes his images sing.
Summary
"Avedon," Ron Howard’s documentary about the legendary photographer, is a fantastic movie. It’s the best documentary Ron Howard has made (my favorite before this: "The Beatles: Eight Days a Week — The Touring Years"), and it’s been edited in a way that’s so supple and artful that its technique should be studied in filmmaking classes. (The film’s editor is Andrew Morreale.)
