Review of Bill Cunningham New York (2011) by Sarfaraz A — 02 Apr 2012
Bill Cunningham In New York is a documentary about a man in his 80's, who is so much fascinated by street fashion in New York City. He works for New York Times. He is jolly, he is happy, he is (always) smiling, he doesn't care about celebrities; rather he cares about fashionable clothes, the dresses that ordinary people in New York City wear, including socialites, fashion-designers and so on. Bill has circle of friendly people, who work around him, some consider him to have far greater knowledge about fashion in span of last 40/50 years in New York City. Richard Press and Philip Gefter of The Times, made the documentary 'Bill Cunningham New York'.
'Bill Cunningham New York' deals with living style of Bill in small room, and his livelihood, his faith in religion. Many prominent fashion-designers and ordinary folks of New York City, praise the way of photography of Bill. These include those who hit the height, because of (thanks to) Bill's photography of capturing them in peculiar dresses and boots. A remarkable film that has got vividness of its rich biography of colorful man like Bill, who fills whole of documentary with his smile and the way he interacts with people around him.
Great documentary that was missed out by Academy like many other great films!
