Item description from seller

1st Printing. 56 pages. Published in 2007. The author's debut experimental film, presented in its definitive book format. One of the most important titles in Robert Frank's oeuvre. The First Edition. The true first. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly the Reissued Edition. Published in a small and limited first print run as a softcover original only. Published as part of the Steidl "Robert Frank Project". The First Edition is now rare. An austerely elegant production by Robert Frank and Gerhard Steidl: Oversize-volume format. Pictorial softcovers with cream cloth overboards and titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs, stills from his eponymous film, and text by Robert Frank. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper by Steidl in Gottingen, Germany to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Robert Frank's "Me And My Brother". His first feature-length film, which was premiered at the 1968 Venice Film Festival, in a book format that is specifically designed to be a collectible keepsake. The story of real-life brothers Julius and Peter Orlovsky, who appear as themselves, together with a now-legendary all-star cast led by Allen Ginsberg (Peter's lifelong lover), the great avant-garde theatre director Joseph Chaikin as well as the great character actor Christopher Walken and the young playwright/actor/writer Sam Shepard in their iconic film debuts. "Everything that had defined Frank's art up to that point is packed into this film: The view of America from the outside, the placement of the marginal in a central role, the poetic libertinage of the Beats. The story, which takes place during the showing of another film in a rundown movie theater, weaves together opposites, playing the counterfeit against the authentic, pornography against poetry, acting against being, Beat cynicism against hippie Romanticism, monochrome against color. Celebrates the poetic essay, affirms the underground and the assemblage form, and packs in some bizarre twists and turns" (Publisher's blurb). Robert Frank died on September 9, 2019 at the age of 94 as the greatest photographer of our time. An absolute "must-have" title for Robert Frank collectors. This title is a late-modern art film classic. This is one of few copies of the First Edition/First Printing (issued as a Collector's Softcover Format, NOT just the DVD) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Should NOT be confused with the Reissued Edition. A rare copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with photographic and film still plates. Three of Robert Frank's books were selected as among the greatest photography books in "The Photobook". At the age of 92, Robert Frank was profiled in 2016 by The New York Times as "the greatest photographer of our time". A fine copy.
