Movie- HELMUT NEWTON: THE BAD AND THE BEAUTIFUL (5.00pm)
–
May 7, 2022
One of the great masters of photography, the German-Australian photographer Helmut Newton made a name for himself exploring the female form.
Through candid interviews with Grace Jones, Charlotte Rampling, Isabella Rossellini, Anna Wintour, Claudia Schiffer, Marianne Faithfull, and Newton's Australian wife June, this documentary captures his legacy and seeks to answer questions.
The film features Newton's own home movies, archival footage (including a pointed exchange with Susan Sontag) and, of course, scores of iconic Newton photographs. The result: a wildly entertaining portrait of a controversial genius.
"A fascinating film." - The Guardian
"An engaging and surprisingly playful documentary about the man who was arguably the most transgressive photographer to emerge from the 1960s and '70s..." - Variety
Cast: Isabella Rossellini, Charlotte Rampling, Anna Wintour, Grace Jones, Hanna Schygulla, Claudia Schiffer
