The Gates
2007 - ENGLISH - MOVIE
Documentary Drama
In February, 2005, artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude installed 7,500 arches (gates), curtained with orange cloth that waved and billowed and decked miles of walkways in Central Park. The gates stood for 16 days, the first unfurled by Mayor Bloomberg, who championed the project, giving it the okay after the artists 25-year quest to gain approval. Archival footage shows pro-and-con debates and various mayors and commissions turning down the project. By the end, the gates installed, the camera travels a winter landscape, orange shining through trees and reflected in ponds. Passers-by, quintessential New Yorkers, express pleasure. Art dwarfs the nay-sayers. Written by The Gates is a 2007 English-language Documentary Drama film featuring Michael Bloomberg, Christo, Rudy Giuliani, Jeanne-claude, Rasha Refaie and Amelia O loughlin. The movie is directed by Raffaello Degruttola. The movie made a box office gross of $13 million.

The documentary is pretty much what youd expect: Two decades of ignorant contempt, followed by the city finding it was really surprisingly fond of The Gates. ( Read More )
