Synopsis
This film was selected by the Cinéma du Musée, in collaboration with the MBAM, to highlight the exhibition RICHARD AVEDON: IMMORTAL – Portraits of the Passage of Time, 1951–2004.
Icon of photography, Richard Avedon shaped the visual imagination of an entire era. The character of Dick Avery, played by Fred Astaire, is inspired by him, and Avedon even created several of the photographs seen on screen.
Plus, it’s the perfect movie for Valentine’s Day!
