 Disappointing Camera Work October 15, 2007
5 out of 9 found this review helpful
We are not allowed to see the photographs as Adams shot them. What we see instead are moving fragments as we are constantly subjected to panning, tilting and zooming in and out. We never see the photographs in total and get to watch them as Adams cropped them. It is like going through a photographic exhibition on a roller coaster.

A stunningly beautiful biography.
I challenge any one to watch this and not shed tears for the beauty of this continent, and for what we have done and continue to do to it.
So many intensely fine photos of deep wilderness and sublime natural perfection matched by sensitive narration.
This film is a great work of art, and one of the most moving and gorgeous documentaries I have ever seen.
Ansel would approve...and his standards were the very highest.
Ansel Adams July 18, 2007

A captivating entry in the "American Experience" PBS series, "Adams" vividly brings to life the biographical details and working methods of this groundbreaking 20th-century photographer. An accomplished concert pianist, Adams gave up this path to pursue his vision of nature's beauty by illuminating Yosemite's Kings Canyon as it had never been seen before. With great sensitivity to Adams's process, specifically how he achieved the distinctive look of his photos, Burns handles his subject with understated reverence, profiling the artist-as-environmentalist. Adams changed forever the way we view wilderness, and this beautiful film tells us why--and why he and his legacy still matter.
Why not subtitles? May 23, 2007

The documental DVD talks about the important photographer Ansel Adams, very sensitive about the places he walked with his cameras and lenses, filters. He has an experiencie about each photograph that he published and talks about. This DVD should have subtitles, also in other languajes.
