Pollack ain't.
I got no sense of Gehry's buildings from the cinematography, either, nor any insights into HOW the buildings are done.
In other words, a superficial picture thrown together with no new ideas and which sheds no new light for anyone with a cursory knowledge (and at this point who doesn't know a bit about Frankie G?) of the current architecture darling.
You want to see how it's done?
See "My Architect," a brilliant film about Herbert Kahn, done by... his son.
