Antony Gormley: Being Human

About This Movie

So, this documentary, 'Antony Gormley: Being Human,' really dives into the mind of the sculptor behind some thought-provoking work, like the Angel of the North. Alan Yentob guides us through Gormley's artistic journey, which feels pretty personal and reflective. The pacing is quite mellow, allowing you to really soak in his philosophies about art and humanity. You get a sense of Gormley's influences, particularly his strict Catholic upbringing, which adds a layer of depth to his sculptures. It’s not just about visuals; it’s about exploring what it means to be human through his lens. The atmosphere feels intimate, and there’s a rawness that comes through in his discussions. Worth a look for anyone interested in contemporary sculpture and the thought processes behind it.
