Movie Title : Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters
Release Date : Oct 31, 2012 Limited
Mpaa Rating : Unrated
Genre :Musical & Performing Arts,Documentary
Gregory Crewdson's riveting photographs are elaborately staged, elegant narratives compressed into a single, albeit large-scale image, many of them taken at twilight, set in small towns of Western Massachusetts or meticulously recreated interior spaces, built on the kind of sound stages associated with big-budget movies. Shapiro's fascinating profile of the acclaimed artist includes stories of his Park Slope childhood (in which he tried to overhear patients of his psychologist father), his summers in the bucolic countryside (which he now imbues with a sense of dread and foreboding), and his encounter with Diane Arbus's work in 1972 at age 10. Novelists Rick Moody and Russell Banks, and fellow photographer Laurie Simmons, comment on the motivation behind their friend's haunting images. -- (C) Zeitgeist

David Noh-Film Journal International

Ben Shapiro's goal isn't so much a comprehensive biopic as an in-the-moment snapshot of creative fervent.
Ela Bittencourt-Slant Magazine

An engaging portrait of a fascinating artist, it is difficult if not impossible to look away from once it gets going -- much like Crewdson's astonishing photographs.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune
