“Long before Lindsay Lohan was a twinkle in her father's eye, Ron "paparazzi extraordinaire" Galella was figuring out devious ways to shoot the likes of Brando and Jackie O in the throws of everyday life. In Smash His Camera, Oscar-winning documentarian Leon Gast turns the lens on Galella and creates an affectionate, entertaining, and thought-provoking portrait of a man that some write-off as being parasitic and soulless. Galella's retelling of his strategic maneuvers and the commentary of critics and admirers on the larger issues of first-amendment rights and the cult of celebrity make Smash viewer-worthy.”
Mindy Bond, Flavorpill
Smash His Camera says:
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis sued him, and Marlon Brando broke his jaw. The story of notorious, reviled paparazzo Ron Galella opens a Pandora's Box of issues from right to privacy, freedom of the press and the ever-growing vortex of celebrity worship.
