Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures (2016)

Film · 2016 · 105 min · NR · Documentary

Nude men in rubber suits, close-ups of erections, objects shoved in the most intimate of places—these are photographs taken by Robert Mapplethorpe, known by many as the most controversial photographer of the twentieth century. Openly gay, Mapplethorpe took images of male sex, nudity, and fetish to extremes that resulted in his work still being labelled by some as pornography masquerading as art. But less talked about are the more serene, yet striking portraits of flowers, sculptures, and perfectly framed human forms that are equally pioneering and powerful.

Directed by Fenton Bailey

Starring Robert Mapplethorpe, Fran Lebowitz, Debbie Harry, Brooke Shields, Carolina Herrera, Paul Martineau, Bob Colacello, Patti Smith
