Summary: Chronicles a man who is obsessively interested in only one thing,the pictures he takes that document the way people dress. The 80-year-old New York Times photographer has two columns in the paper's Style section, yet nobody knows who he is.
Bill Cunningham is arguably the biggest baller in existence. He is insanely likable and awesome. His whole outlook on life is absorbing as is this fantastically put together documentary as a whole. A must of 2011.
A delightful film about a delightful man. The photos and the culture were great, but Bill Cunningham is a real human being. He understands the importance of simple kindness. He pursues the beautiful without apology and with much enthusiasm. And his attention is directed completely outward. Cunningham really does see the world beyond himself, and as a result, is a man with a full and happy life.
One of the easiest to watch and even inspiring docs I've seen in a while. Photographer Bill Cunningham documents New York fashion at all socio-economic levels and yet stands apart from it. It's rare to see someone so immersed in work and so true to an idiosyncratic politic. "Money is cheapest," Bill says. "Liberty, freedom, that's expensive."
As I watched this I couldn't help but silently compare it to The September Issue in the back of my mind and I think more highly of this movie because of that.
I was interested in this movie for three reasons: photography, pop culture, and New York City. It delivers on all three fronts. Bill Cunningham's sheer integrity is admirable, and it's a lot of fun to watch all the outrageous things people wear. And not only did I get New York, I got Paris.
"Bill Cunningham is astutely defined by Bill Cunningham New York as not simply a traditional photographer of clothing, but an anthropological historian." - Nick Schager
Never did I dream that I would find a movie about a fashion photographer so compelling. A highly charming and funny story of an 82-year-old man who is in love with the world. His unflagging humanism makes me reconsider and, in fact, feel a little ashamed of my lifelong cynicism and misanthropy
