Storyline

This mesmerizing documentary, a profile of photographer William Eggleston and his work, puts particular focus on one hugely pivotal moment in not only his own career, but in the art world at large. Although it failed to inspire critics at the time of its unveiling, Eggleston’s simply titled exhibit "Color Photographs by William Eggleston" is widely recognized as legitimizing and basically conceptualizing color photography in modern art and entertainment.
