Laura Israel‘s Don’t Blink – Robert Frank is a fine documentary offering for acolytes and neophytes alike, barreling through its amazing subject’s photography-filled life and career with as much eye for small details as the basics of exposition. Along with offering many fun tidbits (clips from Frank’s infamous Cocksucker Blues always help), this is a visually splendid work, mixing seemingly every film format known to man — digital cinematography can stand right alongside grainy black-and-white stills to represent his decades-long journey — in representing the plurality of Frank’s experiences.
Grasshopper Film, who will give Don’t Blink a U.S. run that starts this summer, have let us debut an excellent poster created by Yolanda Cuomo Design and Alex Bingham. With the flashes of a lifetime’s experience and Frank himself — who, despite standing front and center, maintains some air of mystery — it offers a strong representation of the complete film.
See its trailer here, and check out the poster below:
Don’t Blink – Robert Frank will begin its theatrical run on Wednesday, July 13 at Film Forum.
