Documentary – Bill Cunningham New York
Words: Gentleman's Journal
For those of you who don’t know who Bill Cunningham is, let us explain. He is an 80+ New York Times Photographer who has been obsessively and inventively chronicling fashion trends and society charity soirées for the last 40 or 50 years. He has two columns in the Times Style section, one called “On the Street” and another called “Evening Hours.”
When fashion powerhouses such as Anna Wintour appear in the film saying “we all get dressed for Bill,” it just bares testament to his contribution and importance in New York fashion culture.
Bill Cunningham New York is said to be “a dedicated, funny and often poignant portrait of a dedicated artist whose only wealth is his own humanity and unassuming grace.” We say its set to be one of the best documentaries of the year. zeitgeistfilms.com
