Add a CommentThis documentary was highly recommended to me by several people in the last few years so I finally decided to watch it. It did a good job of creating an odd, sad, somewhat lifeless mood when dealing with seemingly nice but odd people who cling to the past and, as a result, dwell/exist in surreal, lifeless surroundings. It also gave an eye rolling glimpse into how utterly ridiculous and self absorbed the fashion industry, the powers that be and the wealthy can be. The viewer gets the gist pretty early on and the theme is repeated many times. It, ultimately, didn't hold my attention and when I was ready for it to end there was over 1/2 hour left. I think it could benefit from being tightened up and made shorter.
Bill makes me want to do 3 things: -relocate to NYC -ride a bicycle -take pictures
Great Watch! Bill Cunningham may be the only asexual person I have ever come across thus far. Also, he appreciates 'human weirdness' and i like that!
worth seeing even if you dont like fashion and glamor that came with it. its fascinating story about one man life long obsession.
Although the film held my interest, I was left feeling 'So What'.
The best fashion monk. Ever. Inspirational and unforgettable.
Well worth seeing ...much more than I expected ! ,... For the extraordinary yet humble photo-artist, the insightfully documented fashion, and the beautifully and lovingly crafted biopic.
A must see for those who love Fashion. Bill Cunningham is a modest man with an extraordinary eye for the trends and wild hairs of fashion.
Have to admit that I had never heard of Bill Cunningham but after this doc I feel like I've lived along side him and its a great tale to tell. Obsessed by the detail of fashion, he chronicles high society, the fashion runway and the streets of New York at an amazing pace. A very interesting and heart warming look at a artist who goes his own way in a city he loves.
Nice documentary about a nice guy.
