I am a little ashamed to say that I had never heard of Mexican crime photographer Enrique Metinides before. Thanks to this film I am now a certified fan. First there’s the man himself, who is a charming eccentric. Then there’s his work, which is beautiful, but as morbidly graphic as photography can get. To top it off you get to see Metinides interacting with his toy collections, which gets downright touching at times. I say this documentary is perfect, and give it my most enthusiastic recommendation. One little side note, at the beginning as he’s talking about his first camera, the Brownie Junior, I looked down and noticed that I have the identical model sitting right below my TV. Cue The Twilight Zone theme.
FYI – There is an impressive looking book available titled 101 Tragedies of Enrique Metinides.
Available on Blu-ray from Filmrise.
