Tightly packed into about 90 minutes is "The Gates," directed by Antonio Ferrera and Albert Maysles, an expertly assembled verite look at Christo and Jeanne-Claude, culled from some 600 hours of footage dating back to 1979, when Albert and David Maysles first began following the artists' battle to install some 7,500 metal gates draped with brightly colored fabric throughout New York'c Central Park. The film closed the Tribeca festival over the weekend and Maysles talked about the film at a recent press conference, along with Jean-Claude and co-director, Antonio Ferrera.
Albert Maysles is brilliant. He (and his brother) and now his his "team" keep making the most remarkable films that touch our hearts. I fall in love with every single person he's introduced us to in his films.
It's my hope to one day meet the amazing Mr. Maysles.
