"Bill Cunningham New York"


See, if you don't take money they can't tell you what to do.
- Bill Cunningham

This documentary follows the New York Times fashion photographer and delves into his personal life, something that many people who have known him for decades know little about. The joy that Mr. Cunningham gets from snapping photographs, capturing street fashion in New York, Paris and beyond is impossible to not feel. It is fascinating to watch a man who rubs shoulders with the most elite live a beyond simple life (he does not have a kitchen at 89-years-old), reminding the viewer that having more does not necessarily bring happiness. If you are in the mood for a documentary that leaves you wanting more, then this is a documentary for you.
