Robert Frank: Rare insights on the personal life of the revolutionary photographer

Completed in 2004, "Leaving Home, Coming Home: A Portrait of Robert Frank" was the first ever feature-length documentary about the legendary Swiss-American photographer and filmmaker. Always reluctant to give interviews, Frank originally deemed the film too personal to be shown widely.
Affectionate conversations with Frank's second wife, the vibrant artist June Leaf, reveal decades of closeness, creative exchange and support through the intense tragedies of Frank's life. In rare moments of vulnerability, Frank speaks movingly about these tragedies.

Shot in Cinéma vérité-style between New York and Nova Scotia, his second home, the film captures Frank reflecting on a lifetime of image making that most famously produced "The Americans", probably the most influential photographic book of the last sixty years. Unembellished and unflinching, this portrait captures the life and art of one of the most significant and uncompromising artists of the 20th century.

This has to be the best thing I’ve ever found on the internet. It’s quite inspiring. Once in a while, you recognize how powerful technology is and I’m certainly most grateful.

This is the better doc on Robert Frank. A moving, respectful portrait of the man. The film makers step aside and let it happen. No overbearing opinions, pretentious art posturing or bad soundtrack like the other one. This is the one you should watch.
