E un documentar despre fotograful Bill Cunningham, regizat de Richard Press. De ce ne interesează? Pentru că, la aproape 90 de ani, fotograful american, cunoscut mai ales pentru fotografiile de fashion si pentru street photography, încă mai cutreieră Manhattan-ul pe şaua unei biciclete. De altfel, bună parte a fotografiilor care l-au făcut celebru pe Cunningham au fost trase în timpul călătoriilor sale cu bicicleta prin oraş.
Să vedem şi să luăm aminte :)
In a city of dedicated originals, New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham stands out as one who both knows how to capture the essence of the singular personality and clearly represents one himself. Entering his ninth decade, Cunningham still rides his Schwinn around Manhattan, putting miles between his street-level view of personal style and what the titans of fashion will come to discover down the road.
This heartfelt and honest documentary turns the camera on one who has so lovingly and selflessly captured the looks that have defined generations. And in the photographer’s chronicles of the events and people that captivate our beloved city, the film is just as much a portrait of New York as of Cunningham.
