I Am Martin Parr

A biographical documentary by genre, this short, sharp portrait of the English photographer Martin Parr is really an invigorating 66-minute debate.

But like Parr, this slim, seemingly jolly film is actually more inscrutable. It is hard to know, for instance, if an unspoken comment might lie in the most robust analysis of this definitive British voice coming from French curators.

The beguiling work of English photographer Martin Parr is the subject of this brief, but thoroughly enjoyable study which sets out to introduce his extraordinary work.

The opportunity here to see Parr’s many truly striking images -- especially his lesser-seen and touchingly humanist early black-and-white work -- leaves the photographer’s legacy in no doubt.
