5 Films About Christo & Jeanne-Claude (3-Disc Series)

5 Films About Christo and Jeanne-Claude - A Maysles Films Production
4 stars

Christo is a true original. His projects boggle my mind. Each of these filmed works is completely ridiculous in both scope and theme. But his enthusiasm is infectious and his integrity as an artist cannot be questioned. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the development of his work in these 5 short films, made over a 30 year period. My favorite of the three discs in this collection is disc 1. Start there, and see if this man's whimsical projects translate to cinematic gold for you.
