Overview

“We all get dressed for Bill,” says Vogue editrix Anna Wintour.The “Bill” in question is 80+ New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham. For decades, this Schwinn-riding cultural anthropologist has been obsessively and inventively chronicling fashion trends and high society charity soirées for the Times Style section in his columns “On the Street” and “Evening Hours.” Documenting uptown fixtures (Wintour, Tom Wolfe, Brooke Astor, David Rockefeller—who all appear in the film out of their love for Bill), 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. In turn, 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.This wonderful film has been shortlisted for nomination to the Best Documentary category of the Academy Awards!

REVIEWS

“It’s a real privilege to watch this film!”- Kenneth Turan, LOS ANGELES TIMES“A magisterial documentary about urban life and creativity.”- Hilton Als, THE NEW YORKER“ILLUMINATING AND INSPIRING!”- André Leon Talley, VOGUE“captivating and moving portrait of a singular man and a passing era… Mr. Cunningham finds something creative, life-affirming and free, and preserves it forever. An intimate portrait that feels more found or captured than it does constructed. (Cunningham) is an aesthete and an ascetic, a member of the establishment and a bohemian, and among the last of his kind.” - Carina Chocano, THE NEW YORK TIMES
