Preview: Smash His Camera (2010)

Synopsis:

The life story of photojournalist Ron Galella and his not-so-friendly intrusion on the private lives of celebrities.

• Poster: D+

Review:

Using one of the photographers photographs is always a positive thing, but not embellishing it or adding depth with the bread-and-butter elements of poster (the names, title, etc.) just doesn't work.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

Exploring the first amendment and how photojournalists can stretch it to fit their own aims is a fascinating subject for a documentary. The trailer makes this one look a bit like cardboard, but the information within could be fairly informative.

Oscar Prospects:

A possibility, but a remote one.

Release Date:
