"An intimate portrait of Bill Cunningham, the 80 year old New York Times photographer who for forty years has been riding around New York City on his bicycle, documenting fashion trends on the street by day and New York's social scene at night for his two weekly columns in the Sunday Times. Known and beloved by most New Yorkers, and with an international following in the paper and on-line. Bill has been likened to Garbo in that, until now, no one has known a thing about him. Intensely private, and with an aversion to any kind of recognition"
I had never heard of this person and when asked to go see the movie, I thought there are other things I want to see. I am so glad that my friend won this decision! Bill Cunningham is a charming, quirky and eccentric man. He has 2 columns in the NY Times and New Yorkers want to end up in his column !!He still takes his photos on a wind up camera that uses FILM! He develops his film everday at a little whole in the wall. He has no interest in celebrity, its all about fashion fashion fashion!! It was a great documentary of a man that has a passion and wakes up everyday spo happy to work but of course to him it is not work, its his love and joy!
