Synopsis: Julius Shulman was, as many experts agree, the world’s greatest architectural photographer. Narrated by Dustin Hoffman, "Visual Acoustics" celebrates the life and career of this brilliant artist and highlights not only the iconic images that made the man, but the magnetic character behind those images. Shulman captured the work of virtually every modern architect since the 1930s, including Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra, John Lautner and Frank Gehry.

This portrait is a testament both to the evolution of modern architecture and to the joyful, whip-smart gentleman who captured its indelible images. [Synopsis courtesy of Arthouse Films]
