CGiii Comment
Narcissism, vanity, infatuation...and, if truth be told...it is a little creepy.
An unhealthy obsession with a young man and the power of a 'name' and a camera..it is amazing what an 'artist' can get away with - hiding behind the name of art.
This is an uninspiring visual and audial travelogue through Weber's likes and dislikes - an unfaltering ego at work...
Perfect for film festival fetishists and sleazy, darkened, near-bankrupt gay bars in lonely littered streets.
Here is an over-inflated ego with an over-inflated ambition trying (in vain) for mass consumption...it's simply an overlong Calvin Klein ad with lacklustre narration...and, did we say...it is creepy.
Stick to the photography...your words are not important.

A homage to Bruce Weber's Favourite things, these being mixing film, photography and classic movies. With portraits of a lesbian jazz singer and a 16 year old wrestler.
