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.

The(ir) Blurb...

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.
