Laura Israel: Don't Blink - Robert Frank

By Laura Israel

Don't Blink - Robert Frank is a documentary about Robert Frank, the legendary photography and filmmaker behind perhaps the most influential publication in the history of the photobook, The Americans (1959), and landmark films including Pull My Daisy of (1959) and Cocksucker Blues (1972). Directed by Frank's longtime editor Laura Israel, the film is an exuberant and fascinating journey into the images and works of the iconoclastic Swiss-born artist who reinvented himself the American way and shaped the history of photography in the process. The soundtrack features Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, the White Stripes, Yo La Tengo, Tom Waits and more. Originally released in 2016 and praised by CriterionCast as "as original and singular as any documentary you'll see this year" and by Film Stage as an "enthusiastic, excited, and earthy celebration of artistic creation and the life that makes it inevitable, " this Steidl collector's edition contains a Blu-ray disc in an aluminum tin and cardboard box.
