Hockney

(Randall Wright, UK 2014, 112 min., DCP)

Rochester Premiere. One of the great surviving icons of the 1960s, David Hockney started his career with almost instant success. In private, however, he has struggled with his art, relationships, and the tragedy of AIDS—making his optimism and sense of adventure truly uplifting. Hockney weaves a portrait of the multifaceted artist from frank interviews with close friends and never-before-seen footage from his own personal archive. The result is funny, inspiring, bold, and visionary.

“A wealth of intimate home-movie footage and an affinity for his subject invigorate Randall Wright’s unashamedly affectionate portrait of a British icon.” – The Guardian
