Title: Look at Hockney looking
Product review: It's always uplifting to see painter David Hockney at work and talking about it. Bruno Wollheim made two documentaries about him in a very straightforward way. It's clear to the viewer that it's just Wollheim with his camera trying to capture what Hockney does - but without placing himself between us and the artist. Wollheim doesn't say: look at me making a film, he says: look at Hockney making his paintings from life. In other words: look at Hockney looking at landscapes (or people). Wollheim followed Hockney closely and thanks to his work we can watch along with him. If you like A Bigger Picture, you might also want to see 'David Hockney: Double Portrait' by the same director. I very much enjoyed both.
