Sketches of Frank Gehry by Sydney Pollack

This week I watched Sketches of Frank Gehry, in which Sydney Pollack goes around interviewing and filming Frank Gehry as he goes about creating and designing buildings. It's interesting to see Gehry work, and to see his scribbles and crumpled paper become buildings, and what runs through his head. At one point, Frank Gehry says regarding a design "That's so stupid looking, it's great", which is generally my reaction to walking into a Gehry building, because it's so different, and the shapes and impact of the space just completely draws me in.
