Insight into the life of legendary film poster maker Drew Struzan as explained by the man himself and his many famous fans eg Spielberg, Lucas, Del Toro, Ford, Michael J Fox and Frank Darabont.

Unbelievable that this man has been responsible for so many iconic movie posters and images and how much they are adored in the industry and by his many fans. So sad then that his art, which through seeing this, you believe helps put bums on seats, is now completely ignored by the studios. This in part is where the documentary itself falls short. There are some real issues to look at here and these are often dodged or sanitised in favour of famous talking heads. This is a genuinely dying art form - destroyed by talentless bean counters.

The work that goes into poster or rather went into the posters, is great. And the movie/documentary is giving us one of the best that ever drew anything (no pun intended). It does help that while not a man of big words, the man behind the posters, is a very likable one. And he is also very funny too.

There are a lot of famous people who comment on the work and we get a lot of background information. We also get how the man came to the business, how he climbed the ladder. All this might sound trivial, but it is really nicely told with a joke thrown in there for good measure. You really feel like you got to know the guy, after watching this. A real nice homage and a good documentary

Movie poster artist Drew Struzan has created many of the most iconic movie posters of the last few decades, and "Drew: The Man Behind the Poster" is a loving tribute and examination of his long career. Composed mainly of interviews with the various actors, producers, and directors whose movies Struzan made posters for, as well as unobtrusive narration that keeps the story going. Notable are interviews with Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, who talk about Struzan''s posters for Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, ET, and Back to the Future.

Drew Struzan comes off as a humble, extremely talented, and very nice guy who had a rough start in life but truly made his mark on movie history.

This documentary was recently made available on Netflix, and I highly recommend it--well made, and interesting to movie buffs, Star Wars fans, and even people who have never heard of Struzan.
