Jack Hazan’s intimate and innovative film about English-born, often California-based artist David Hockney and his work honours its subject through creative risk-taking. The improvisatory narrative-nonfiction hybrid features Hockney and his circle of friends, and captures the agonized end of the lingering affair between Hockney and his muse, an American named Peter Schlesinger. A time capsule of hedonistic gay life in the 1970s, an honest yet tender depiction of gay male romance, and a sun-kissed, water-dappled perfect summer movie, the film also provides an invaluable view of art history in action and a record of artistic creation that is itself a work of art.
Tickets: $15 (Members from $10)
