Through Tuesday, Film Forum is screening An American Journey: Revisiting Robert Frank’s "The Americans", a documentary about the making of Frank's hugely influential book of photographs, published in 1958. Director Philippe Séclier’s film demonstrates, according to Mike Hale at the Times, a "funny disconnect between the intuitive, snapshot aesthetic of Mr. Frank and Mr. Séclier’s checklist approach. When he does include in his film something shot on the spur of the moment, it’s the easy visual joke of a roadside Statue of Liberty. Transitions are bridged with footage shot from his moving car in a dark, grainy style that’s presumably meant to evoke the atmosphere of 'The Americans' but just looks blurry."
