Annie Leibovitz: Life Through a Lens (15)
Star rating: ***
Dir: Barbara Leibovitz
Annie Leibovitz has become the celebrity photographer to celebrities. From Jagger to Hillary, Clooney to Whoopi - you're nobody till Annie's
lens has loved you. This documentary, directed by her sister Barbara, retraces her life and career to show how AL made her name.
The wild times at Rolling Stone are the most fascinating; otherwise the subject keeps a tight rein on proceedings, only letting go when she speaks of her friendship with Susan Sontag. It's just a pity the film was finished before the grand dame of photography, described by one contributor as "Barbra Streisand with a camera", got to look through the lens at a certain resident of Buckingham Palace.
