Lee Friedlander selects North by Northwest
Director: Alfred Hitchcock
1959 / 136min / 4K DCP
From the United Nations building to broad-shouldered Chicago to Mount Rushmore, with a scenic stop at an empty field somewhere in the Midwest, follow beleaguered ad exec Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant) and his mysterious companion (Eva Marie Saint) as they embark on an action-packed chase-itinerary that only makes for one of the most gleefully entertaining, graphically striking movies ever made, all ending in a final shot that will never fail to induce adolescent chuckles.
LEE FRIEDLANDER
Lee Friedlander invented the term “social landscape” to describe the vivid mixture of people and places he has photographed since 1948. With an ability to organize a vast amount of visual information in dynamic compositions, Friedlander has made humorous and poignant images among the chaos of city life or in dense natural landscapes, focusing on countless subjects ranging from cars and trees to monuments and nudes.
