A BIGGER SPLASH

A fictionalized biopic on English-born, California-based painter David Hockney and his work. Following the artist, as well as his circle of friends, the film captures the agonized end of the lingering affair between him and his muse, an American named Peter Schlesinger.

Few films capture the madness of a breakup like this ground-breaking, semi-fictionalised account of David Hockney’s harrowing creative process. As full of dreamy eroticism as his landmark pool paintings, this is a bracingly intimate look at the British artist’s imagination—in a glowing restoration!
