Drive-in Movie

Drive-in Movie - Detroit
Robert Frank
E.HEHR 1955 blog

This photograph is part of Robert Frank's collection The Americans. The photograph depicts Frank's idea of American culture at that time. The area between the two cars draws the viewers eye up from the bottom of the frame to the movie screen in the background. Also, the way Frank captured the movie-viewers in the front of the frame and the movie screen in the distance makes it appear as if the photographer is part of the scene. The photograph is also taken at a slight angle which draws the viewer in and makes the scene appear more realistic.
