In the unconventional documentary Becoming Bert Stern, the original mad-man photographer reveals himself for the first time. Becoming Bert Stern is a story of self-creation: rise, fall and reinvention. It explores creativity, celebrity, and desire through the eyes of a man who got everything he wanted. Almost. (imdb)

Engaging enough documentary is worthwhile as a showcase for some of Stern's stunning photography, and his insights into some behind-the-scenes moments with his subjects (especially Monroe) are valuable, but it does lean into the hoary old trope of the "artistic temperament" as an excuse for bad behaviour, meaning the portraits of some of the women in his life (Dorothy Tristain for one) feel a little dishonest, compounded by wife #3 being behind the camera lens! Still a worthy endeavour.
