Sudek's look A short documentary about Czech photographer Josef Sudek. Throughout the picture without unnecessary words and emotions on the screen are shots of the great Czech subjectivist. In the pictures still lifes, landscapes, refractions of light and shadow. Sudek himself, a one-armed photographer wounded in the fields of the First World War, wanders through desert landscapes, carrying a bulky tripod with a camera, wanders thoughtfully in the crowd, carrying only with his appearance a multifaceted cosmic image of a wanderer, the same age.
Sudek appeared in this world exactly on the anniversary of the invention of the Lumiere cinema.
But the most important thing in this short masterpiece is Sudek’s look, his squint, almost a sight in the direction of the object being filmed. His eyes seemed to say, This is the moment. Footage.
Observing the movement, actions, views of the hero of the picture, it becomes clear what it is like to be a photographer. By nature.
