Our take
British painter David Hockney’s fascinating life and colorful work has lent itself well to the cinema, with films shot by artists like Gregory Markopoulos, Jack Hazan, Tacita Dean & Bruno Wollheim. Randall Wright’s documentary has the feel of a diary: an intimate, frank, and honest visual chronicle.
