1h 45m
Directed by Jack Hazan • Documentary •1974 • UK • English
Featuring David Hockney, Peter Schlesinger
In this intimate and innovative film about artist David Hockney, director Jack Hazan creates an improvisatory narrative-nonfiction hybrid. The result is at once a time capsule of hedonistic gay life in the 1970s and an honest-yet-tender depiction of gay male romance. A true classic, "A Bigger Splash" is an invaluable view of art history in action.
