Home Featured Reviews Mark Bozek's documentary on the famed New York Times photographer falls short of greatness. Telling a story about an adored public figure isn’t easy. Are you required to say something new about their work, to focus a new lens on a career that has already been closely examined by legions upon legions of followers? Or is it enough to just present the fruits of their efforts as they were, alongside a host of cheery aphorisms about their kindness and generosity? What responsibility do we have to the creators we love? This year has already seen the release of several documentaries of the second variety, including this summer’s megahits? Won’t You Be My Neighbor? ? and? RBG.? Now,? The Times of Bill Cunningham ? (playing this week at the New York Film Festival), joins that group.? Mark Bozek ‘s portrait of the legendary? New York Times? fashion photographer is filled to the brim with charming anecdotes from and about its subject. It is the definition of a hagiography, and it winds up being far blander than its fascinating subject deserves. Bozek draws largely from a 1994 interview that he conducted with Cunningham, a short conversation that was meant to run 10 minutes but instead lasted literally until the tape ran out. These clips of Cunningham are wide-ranging and diverse in tone. At one point, he talks about the many 1950s Hollywood superstars that he lived alongside in his home at Carnegie Studios. At another, he despairs at the lack of true style icons in modern Hollywood. Cunningham is a delightful presence, blindingly charming and quietly caustic in equal doses. Unfortunately, the documentary barely breaks the surface of his vibrant psychology. Bozek’s interview ran for hours, but the documentary is a brisk and superficial 72 minutes. The most engaging portions of the film are the ones that delve into its subject’s outlook on the world, instead of simply settling for charming mythologizing. A segment on his consistent coverage of the New York Gay Pride Parade is a highlight, tiptoeing delicately around the complicated issue of Cunningham’s own sexuality while still extracting insight from him on his close relationship to the gay community. He breaks down into tears in a frank discussion of the AIDS crisis and his close friends who struggled with the disease. It’s a wrenchingly human moment in the middle of this mostly detached look at a shy, withdrawn figure, and one that makes you grateful Bozek held onto his tapes. But for a doc so focused on what Cunningham brought to the world,? The Times of Bill Cunningham? is oddly determined to let him be the only voice heard. There are no other interviews spotlighted, and only an unnecessary voiceover narration from Sarah Jessica Parker breaks up the talking-head segments with Cunningham himself. There’s nothing wrong with letting a documentary’s subject speak for himself, but the finished project ends up feeling almost anemic, totally lacking any meaningful contribution from the people that Cunningham had an impact on. The audience is simply told in voiceover about his relationships. Some well-placed interviews with a few contemporaries could have added a helpful extra layer. Instead, Bozek fills his film with hundreds and hundreds of Cunningham’s photographs. Some of these from before the photographer’s?career at the? Times ?have never been seen before. These images are the true heart of the documentary, ranging from candid shots of New Yorkers on the streets of their city to carefully posed images of stunningly dressed movie stars. Cunningham became a classic New York figure, whizzing through the streets in his distinctive blue coat on one of his many cheap bicycles. His photographs lit up the pages of the stodgy, classically composed? New York Times. It’s a pity that a documentary that bears his name lacks the same youthful zest that defined his best work.

I've never heard her talk before. She's lovely and has a good sense of humor. Just from photos I had assumed she was stuffy and a snob. I was wrong. I'm glad he had her on. ??. She's such a gem. This trailer delivers just enough of the story to make you want to?watch the movie to figure out just what on earth is going on.? This is how a trailer SHOULD be. Your comment makes me wonder, were flappers an exclusively American phenomenon? I always associated that style with Americans but I don't know what Italians were wearing in the 1920s... YouTube. This is the first time I've seen Anna Wintour without her sunglasses.

I dress like that and im 13. I wish there were more videos like this - watching masters shooting, and hearing them talk about it - big thanks to you Samuel - for recording, interviewing and making it soo pleasing to watch. I hope to see more of these from you. Hmmmm is is just me or is this trailer very off putting? Normally I like Isaac Mizrahi but some of the things he said in the trailer make me lose some respect for him. This movie looks like a glorification of all that is shallow, vapid and in really bad taste in the current bad ecomony. I will never be able to shop at Bergdorf Goodman for I am a Savers and second hand shop man but must I be looked down on because I'm not rich? Or am I looking too much into a trailer and need to lighten up. I loved this movie. she is amazing. charming, clever, funny and so stylish.

Bill Cunningham, the New York Times’ intrepid, bicycle-riding style photographer, was as much of a New York institution as the Empire State Building or Lady Liberty, at least among the fashion set. But while he seemed to know everyone and be everywhere at once, he revealed little about himself. Since Cunningham died at age 87 in 2016, several books have been published about him, one a posthumous memoir. On February 14, The Times of Bill Cunningham will premiere at the Angelika Film Center in Manhattan. A more perfect coda to New York Fashion Week cannot be imagined. (Considering how beloved Cunningham is, the synchronicity with Valentine’s Day is pretty great, too. ) Few people have ever been more passionate about and committed to fashion than Cunningham. Hollywood was never his focus, “I felt the dream factory was in fashion, ” he says in the film. Written and produced by Mark Bozek and narrated by Sarah Jessica Parker, The Times of Bill Cunningham is a remarkable, intimate document of a sensitive and talented man? who had an extraordinary sense of empathy and who managed to retain through all of his years, a pure, childlike sense of wonder. Artist Ruben Toledo describes him as “one of our landmark guardian angels. ” Jospehine Baker and Marisa Berenson, 1973.

Ruben and Isabel Toledo.? Photo: Lawrence K. Ho / Los Angeles Times via Getty Images The stylish lovebirds, who cherished Cunningham, first met the photographer when they were club-going teenagers and maintained a friendship with him for about 41 years. Who better, then, to talk about the man and the film, than Ruben? When did you first meet Bill? The very first time we met Bill was at Xenon, a dance-a-holic club?dancier than Studio 54 because there were much better DJs. We were just kids, about 14 or 15. We left the club at 3 or 4 in the morning and this long, thin man with a camera chased us out and ran after us down the street and into our car flashing his camera with a great big ear-to-ear smile on his face. Who else but Bill C. would chase some bridge-and-tunnel club kids to take pictures at that hour in the morning? The energy, the focus, the delight was extraordinary. He was captivated by Isabel’s dress, a silvery-white bubble of tulle held up with fishing wire for straps she had made the night before. Bill always had the finest-tuned fashion antenna. That was our very first Bill C. encounter; it was 1975 or 1976. How has fashion changed in the years Bill was capturing it? Fashion is always evolving and changing, but it was much more individualistic at that time; more radical and experiments were greatly welcomed. The whole city was that way, not just the fashion. Crossing borders was the norm and no invitations or need for approval was necessary. Fashion was an improvisational celebration, and Bill C. was very in tune with that vibe. How does Bill’s work relate to the street style phenomenon? He invented it. If not, he was certainly a central founding father. Bill was aware that fashion and street style are dancing partners, sometimes in harmony but usually not. Fashion loves a crowd and style is a loner, but they really need each other to create that dialogue, which makes each richer. How did you get involved in the film? Soon after the sad loss of Bill, while we were all missing him, Mark Bozek phoned us to let us know he had footage of Bill C. talking into the camera for an hour. Isabel and I understood immediately how rare it was for private Bill to speak to anyone about himself for that long. After Mark screened his raw footage for a group of Bill C. ’s old friends and colleagues, we felt this had to be shared in a bigger and deserving way. Bill was a living national treasure, and a document like this doesn’t happen often. What was Bill’s relationship with Isabel? They were birds of a feather: both contrarians, deep feeling, and difficult creators with a hidden sense of humor and the treasure of joy. They rarely agreed on anything but could talk for hours about the cut of a sleeve or the importance of balance. They both fiercely defended their privacy because they valued their independence, which afforded them their freedom. What does it mean to you that the film is dedicated to her? It is a beautiful and gentle tribute to two of the most intriguing, inspiring souls I have ever had the pleasure to know. I fancy them now laughing and dancing and crying together watching us all watch the film. Were you surprised by anything you saw in the film? The biggest surprise is how Bill opened up to Mark in such a personal way, how he revealed his life story and illustrated how he thinks he became the Bill Cunningham we know now from The Times. No one ever knew the complete Bill because he valued his freedom so very much. The more we got to know him through the decades, the more he revealed himself?like an onion, layer by layer?yet we are still surprised by the many sides of Bill. What special talent did Bill bring to his work? His firsthand knowledge. His love of social history. His ability to link genres, eras, and social movements. The humanity he brought to his work. Why do you think people should see the film? It’s a firsthand account of an artist’s life, spoken from the mouth of the artist himself without pretense or vanity, which is so very rare. There are no talking heads, just the voice of the source is the treasure. The brief tour of Bill’s vast photographic archive is a real treat to watch, even as a montage. The recent history we were all lucky enough to live through is passionately and lovingly documented. What is the film’s takeaway? How lucky we are to have an artist as curious and dedicated and focused and passionate as Bill, who left such a rich document of us all. Bill C. was an amazing example of a way of life that has disappeared, and this film is an amazing document of that, the life of a true bohemian creator who lived right at the core of the frantic action for many decades. This film demonstrates, by example, how precious life is, how we all weave together our past, present, and future and are constantly composing our lives. How everything, even the superficial and ethereal things that seem insignificant, have so much weight when they are sincere.

The invite to director Mark Bozek’s screening for The Times of Bill Cunningham, hosted by M?A?C, Nordstrom, and the Council of Fashion Designers of America, read simply: “Dress for Bill. ” Guests did not disappoint. Pat Cleveland spun for photographers in head-to-toe sequins, Susanne Bartsch arrived in a fully plumed look, and Jordan Roth brought out his pearls. It was a New York night fit for New York icons?Cunningham, of course, being the guest of honor. President and chief executive officer of the CFDA, Steven Kolb, couldn’t agree more. “I think it’s a perfect night to watch the film after we just finished New York Fashion Week. Bill was such a presence at the shows and someone that I always admired. I remember sitting behind him at a show in Europe once and he was so annoyed by all the celebrities on the runway, delaying the start of the show. He goes, ‘I just want to see the clothes! ’” The originator of street style photography, Cunningham first got his start at The New York Time s after innocently snapping a photo of Greta Garbo. It was the starlet's coat, not her storied cinematic legacy, that attracted him. The clothes always being the motivator, Cunningham’s assured eye was just as anticipated on the pages of the Times as his blue and khaki uniform, zipping around the city on his bicycle. He would continue to report for the Times for almost 40 years, up till his death in 2016. Sitting in the velvet seats at the Angelika Film Center & Café in Soho, guests were treated to an intimate interview filmed by Bozek in 1994. Narrated by Sarah Jessica Parker, the normally discreet Cunningham pulled back the curtain to reveal a story that had everyone in smiles and tears. “I certainly don’t want this to be a fashion movie. It’s so much more than that, ” revealed Bozek. And when asked what it was like speaking to Cunningham so candidly, Bozek didn’t hide his enthusiasm. “It was incredible! I didn't realize how incredible until 25 years later when I went into my basement and got the tapes and played it. How incredible it was that he never spoke to anyone before. ” (Incredible indeed as what was planned to be a quick 10 minute session with Cunningham turned into a 6-hour heart-to-heart. ) Dotted with quirky illustrations by artist Ruben Toledo and music beautifully composed by Ezinma, the film had a celebratory air. Bozek also spoke of the photographer’s timelessness: “He’s timeless because he never looked back. He never talked about past eras being better, he was always in the present. He was always looking to the future of discovery, of the next best thing. ” Roth, arm-in-arm with husband, Richie Jackson worked on decoding the magic behind the legend. “His ability to spot the authentic, to spot the unique, wherever and whoever it was. ” And thoughts on what he’d think of street fashion today? “Oh gosh! I think he would love some of it and I think he would let some of it pass on by, which is probably what he was doing all through his career. ” Soon after the screening ended a panel discussion commenced with Global Creative Director of M?A?C Cosmetics, Drew Elliott, Director Bozek, and longtime friend of Cunningham, Toledo. Guests continued the conversation on Cunningham’s legacy well into the night at the cozy Bistrot Leo where it was made quite clear, we all still get dressed for Bill. The Times of Bill Cunningham is out in select theaters. Thanks for making the video. Always love seeing the world through your lens. Amazing video! I am surprised I didn't heard of Mr. Tatsuo Suzuki, I love his photography style. And that rawness and high contrast in his pictures? WOW! I'm baffled! It is exactly the visual I look up to. Is his post processing editing style available to the public? I would love to see how he works on his photos. @artlessstreet.
