Jens B @Jens97 06/29/2024 I never felt closer to experiencing what it is like being an artist. The creation scenes feel are profound. Art and reality dissolve into each other. A perfect (and unexpectedly sexy) summer movie! See more 07/21/2019 No plot and nonsensical dialogue. See more 05/31/2016 Seemed like it had potential, but it just dragged on and the story line was predictable and expected. Very disappointed, but Ralph had a solid performance despite. Still don't see this. Ever. See more 01/23/2014 what a strange thing this was to find. verite with surrealist digressions. Hockney is interesting and insightful, unsurprisingly. even amid all the staged silence and introverted posing. definitely worth seeing if interested in the artwork and the beautiful portraits of London and New York in the early 70s. (including interiors and underground night life) See more 04/16/2011 There can't be many people who are familiar with the friends and colleagues who surrounded David Hockney in the early '70s when this film was shot. (Perhaps there is a decent bio of the artist.) I chose the film based on a casual interest in Hockney as a well-known gay artist. And it's certainly informative about Hockney's process and it's very strong showing the real-world influences, the people and places, that make their way into his art. And, one more plus, it's very homoerotic. On the downside it tends toward the opaque in terms of what & who it chooses to show at any given time & it's painfully fragmented. It's a goofy movie but I think an honest one. See more 07/07/2009 Basically a cinematic homage to the painter David Hockney. See more Read all reviews
