Description
Summary:
In 1971, the artist David Hockney was well on his way to art world super-stardom. Filmmaker Jack Hazan follows Hockney from London to New York to Los Angeles capturing the artist as he struggles to create what would prove to be some of his most enduring works: those featuring Hockney's model and lover, Peter Schlesinger. Straddling the boundary between documentary and fiction, "A Bigger Splash" tells the story of Hockney's breakup with Schlesinger and its effect on Hockney, his work, and his close circle of friends. Originally banned for a notorious scene of homosexual intimacy, this award-winning film, "at once precise and dreamlike", is a unique document of a time and place, a lifestyle, and the artistic process, unlike anything made before or since.
