I did a search and didn't find anything about this here.

If anyone is interested, someone uploaded the complete Bresson documentary on you tube. Its pretty decent, if not only to get a grasp of how many people and places this man saw in his life.

Great documentary but I always wonder how the issue of copyright / intellectual property rights plays into uploading something like this to YouTube. On the dreaded Facebook, you have to promise you own the rights to the material you upload.

I got it as a Christmas (yes, Christmas) gift over a year ago; beautiful film.

I really do wish the European TV firms/companies would cease dubbing over; it's noise to those who understand both languages.

I'm still looking for the "French" version...

I have it and though I don't speak French, I would much prefer hearing HIM in his own words talk instead of some silly voice that doesn't match anything! I have no problem reading subtitles! It is a dvd, they could have made it an option!

Ugh. I paid for that documentary long ago. The only really interesting thing I learned is that he never did his own processing or prints. And I also learned the same about my personal favourite photographer, Walker Evans. Apparently. Being museum caliber famous involves two things. Coming from a well off background. And not touching your own negatives.

I learned a lot more about him from his show at ICP. Apparently he started at like 23. Also, during WWII he burried his Leica near a farm before going on the run and becoming a POW, and when he got out. He went back to that farm to get his Leica a year later. I thought that was so hardcore.
