In the past this has only been fairly true; he saw films, went to the theatre and spent time with friends but these days he rarely leaves his small corner of North London. So when an exhibition of his work opened in the Kunstmuseum Bonn before travelling to Tate Britain, film maker Jake Auerbach decided to go and film the show so that his father could see how it looked ... they set up a projector and filmed his responses to seeing the work after a break of anything up to 60 years. The result is a film that unfolds an obsessive painters personal manifesto (citing references as diverse as Morecambe & Wise, Gauguin and Shakespeare) which is woven into the relationship between father and son. ## Images ![Frank A film by Jake Auerbach - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/517KewOq3ML.jpg) ![Frank A film by Jake Auerbach - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51LO2j3EyYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Informative and enjoyable *by S***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 July 2021* Having read a lot on Auerbach, watched interviews and seen his son's other video on Frank I wasn't sure how much this would add but it's a delight. It's completely unpretentious (as you'd expect from Frank) and very informative. I've watched it a couple of times now and will be returning to it many more. Both my partner and I have enjoyed the ideas it throws up for consideration and contemplation. My only reservation is a short part of the opening section where the music drowns the words (but I'm going deaf, otherwise very clear. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Wise words *by N***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 August 2021* I bough both Frank Auerbach dvds, and find them very stimulating. I also bought and read the Catherine Lampert biography, and the same wisdom is found in that too. There's very much to learn from in his asides about painting, though he would never dream of talking about 'painting' in the sense of having mastered it. If you would like some stimulating discussion both with Auerbach and his sitters, the Auerbach dvds and biography are worth the time. I also enjoyed the John Virtue dvd, another for whom art structures life. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A Life In Painting *by T***F on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 July 2017* Jake Auerbach's 2016 documentary about his father, the painter, Frank Auerbach, isan illuminating portrait, at 84, of a man who has painted, somewhat obsessively, a smallgroup of subjects, both people and places (substantially locations close to his NorthLondon studio) over the past seven decades. Hardly a day goes by without painting.The narrative is connected to the retrospective exhibition held at the Kunstmuseum, Bonnfrom June until September 2015, which then transferred to Tate Britain from October 2015until March 2016. Mr Auerbach reflects on stills of the paintings in the show in conversationwith his son, revealing insights into his working methods and their connections to his life.For anyone interested in this important artist's work the film is both touching and indispensable. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/68002157-frank-a-film-by-jake-auerbach](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/68002157-frank-a-film-by-jake-auerbach) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
