For decades Christo and Jeanne-Claude dazzled art lovers with their epic installation projects, such as The Gates in Central Park. Seven years after the death of Jeanne-Claude, the larger-than-life Christo finally realizes a long-planned project, The Floating Piers. Mounted in 2016 on Italy’s Lake Iseo, the mammoth undertaking allows visitors to walk across a great stretch of water. Once again, witnessing the realization of Christo’s vision feels like watching a real-life miracle. (DOC NYC)

A half-crazy old man and Bulgarian disco bouncer making art. So there's lots of yelling, gesturing, running from left to right, and complaining about everyone else. Landscape art doesn't interest me personally, so I enthusiastically embraced the concept of the documentary as the filmmaker's constant war with technology, people, and his own communication skills. Too bad it’s visually just a well-cut collection of ugly digital camera shots, as is the case with virtually all documentaries of this type at the moment.
