Feat. Charlotte Rampling
Aroview: Expansive documentary presenting the life and career of one of the world's greatest adventure photographers and painters.
Covers the major moments of Beard’s life, from his days in New York City rubbing shoulders with Andy Warhol, Mick Jagger and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis to years living in Africa where he discovered a second home and almost lost his life in a frenzied elephant attack. What comes across most vividly in this Charlotte Rampling narrated doco is Beard’s consummate passion for his art from high-fashion shoots in the wilds of the African continent to expressionistic etchings on the floor of his city apartment and his appreciation and defence of the worlds he is so privileged to capture and inhabit.

1 star (Turkey) As a long-term fan of his early African work, I found this film to be pretentious and exploitative & a sad reflection of his later work. I kept wanting to ask what he'd done to improve the lives of Kenyans. His world view is awfully narrow. ~Sandy
