Hockney

“A wealth of intimate home-movie footage and an affinity for his subject invigorate Randall Wright’s unashamedly affectionate portrait of a British icon.”—Guardian (UK)

David Hockney’s career may have started with almost-instant success, but in private he struggled with his art, relationships, and the tragedy of AIDS. Through frank interviews with close friends and never-before-seen footage from Hockney’s own personal archive, this definitive documentary of one of the great surviving icons of the 1960s captures a charismatic and multifaceted artist whose optimism, work ethic, and sense of adventure are truly uplifting. (113 mins., DCP)
