Bill Cunningham New York
(PG)
We all get dressed for Bill
Legendary New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham has been obsessively chronicling fashion trends in his “On the Street” column for decades. Documenting uptown fixtures, downtown eccentrics and everyone in between, Cunningham’s enormous body of work is more reliable than any catwalk as an expression of time, place and individual flair. Cunningham is a keen, bike-riding cultural anthropologist and at over the age of 80, an inspiration.
Bill Cunningham New York is a delicate, funny and often poignant portrait of a dedicated artist whose only wealth is his own humanity and unassuming grace.
