This was a bit difficult to get through. At first I was annoyed by the use of VO for the translation versus a subtitle, but then I got it because a subtitle would distract from the photos. I think the best part is seeing and hearing Henri Cartier-Bresson on camera talking about all of his photos. This guy is a genius and just loved his anecdotes for the story of each shot, what was happening in that environment, etc. It’s like a grandparent walking you through photo albums. If their photo albums spanned decades and every part of the world. And that each one was impeccably shot and cropped.
