A comprehensive documentary of the rise and fall of a complicated man. We know him for the horse photos, but this film details his landscape photo work, his stereoscopic images, his "scientific" sequence photos that seemed to begin harmlessly enough but gradually became more and more voyeuristic and questionable. A man who lived through a time of profound mechanical change; a man constantly putting himself at risk for the sake of an image; a man of extreme temper... He may be the father of the moving image, but, surprisingly, his images also attest to him being an early proponent of photoshop! Gary Oldman adds some needed flavor and drama to the commentary, but all of the experts are interesting. I highly recommend!
