Aroview: Heaping praise on acclaimed architect Frank Gehry, Hollywood filmmaker Sydney Pollack crafts a loving, unashamed ode to his close friend and mentor whose world famous structures include the Guggenheim Museum in Spain and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in L.A.

Though fawning over Gehry's architectural legacy and the unrestrained adulation of his friends and admirers, Pollack's heartfelt homage to the man's genius is inspiring and insightful. Combating this lovefest with just enough of a glimpse into Gehry's fascinating, sometimes conflicted role as a mediator between commerce and art, Pollack also delves into the intrigue of the creative/collaborative process, while never failing to photograph the architect's salient buildings in the best possible light.
