Last week, we shared a classic (and rare) TV interview with photography legend Henri Cartier-Bresson from the Charlie Rose Show on PBS. While that interview had some choice moments, we were somewhat put-off by Rose's interview techniques.
There's actually a much better film (embedded below) about Cartier-Bresson on YouTube which, thanks to its subtitles, makes it much easier to understand.
Not only does it allow Cartier-Bresson to speak in his own words and reflect on his life as a photographer, but it shows what his work has meant to other photographers, artists and musicians.
"L'Amour Tout Court" (Just Plain Love) by director Raphael O'Bryne is both a documentary about Cartier-Bresson and a film about being a photographer. Between HCB's images and his stories about how they were made, he reveals an approach to photography that is within the reach of most of us.
