Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures

Source đź“ť

283:, stated that it was an "interesting if flawed documentary study", that "the movie is, for me, a little uncritical on the subject of Mapplethorpe’s weaknesses: his lucrative celebrity portraits now look, frankly, uninteresting" and "for me, the problem with this film is that it doesn’t analyse Mapplethorpe’s much admired photographs of flowers. How seriously did the artist take these images – how seriously should we take them? Was it that pistels and stamens and petals resembled genitalia? Is that not the point? Or were the flowers simply there to deflect criticism, to underscore a spurious context and artistic good faith? It’s difficult to tell. This otherwise thorough study does justice to Mapplethorpe’s talent." 29: 271:, stated "Aside from telling a gripping story, Bailey and Barbato have succeeded in capturing the overwhelming sense of adoration and emotional paralysis felt by all those who were influenced by Mapplethorpe." 409: 354: 465: 708: 683: 539: 571: 713: 526: 688: 438:"Film Reviews: Bastille Day - Louder Than Bombs - Mapplethorpe:Look At The Pictures - Arabian Nights:The Restless One - The Divide" 383: 698: 678: 305: 199: 693: 668: 491: 673: 544: 267: 604: 437: 703: 611: 515: 633: 328: 203: 59: 300: 495: 207: 116: 216: 28: 220: 8: 663: 572:"Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures review – justice is done to a brilliant photographer" 442: 246: 195: 82: 414: 387: 355:"Mapplethorpe: Look At The Pictures, film review: a documentary that tackles sexuality" 628: 191: 410:"Review: 'Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures' on HBO Gives Context to Controversy" 639: 469: 359: 332: 567: 274: 254: 90: 644: 657: 241: 227:
