As renowned for his striking portraits as for his shocking and iconoclastic fashion photography, the late Helmut Newton created a gallery of iconic images that pictorially defined the best-known supermodels, Hollywood stars and artists of the last three decades. Filmmaker Julian Benedikt explores this aspect of Newton’s career as many noted celebrities who sat before Newton’s lens — including Claudia Schiffer, Sigourney Weaver, Jodie Foster, Robert Evans, Billy Wilder, Marianne Faithful and David Lynch — reflect on Newton’s work and his legacy.
