- Description
- Description
- Robert Capa, the world's preeminent documentarian of the 20th-century war, photographed five epic conflicts on three different continents. A handsome, dashing figure, Capa was a lifelong pacifist who wore military uniforms, rode in tanks, jumped out of planes, dodged bullets and marched in the front lines. His images have affected the lives of those who may not even know his name. The only photographer who touched the land with soldiers at Omaha Beach on D-Day, his shocking pictures inspired Steven Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan," more than 50 years later. As John Steinbeck once said, "he could photograph thought....and capture worlds." With the full participation of his brother Cornell, access to IPC and Magnum, this is the film first devoted entirely to Robert Capa's mythic life -- it is told with the help of his vast legacy of photographs and writings, at once a testament to great art and historical horror.
