Visual Acoustics (2008)

In the heart of Visual Acoustics, we journey through the life and legacy of Julius Shulman, the unparalleled master of architectural photography. His lens magnificently brought the essence of modern architecture into the American cultural landscape. Shulman, whose life ended in 2009, expertly archived the innovative designs of nearly every progressive architect since the 1930s, including luminaries like Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra, John Lautner, and Frank Gehry. Through his evocative images, he encapsulated the distinct allure of Southern California's modernist wave, catapulting its iconic edifices into the public eye. This exceptional film stands as both an homage to the development of modern architecture and a lively depiction of the charismatic, sharp-witted gentleman who immortalized it with his indelible photographs.

Visual Acoustics is a documentary movie featuring Dustin Hoffman and directed by Eric Bricker.
