Hockney

“I always want to see more,” says David Hockney. And so as a boy in Bradford he’d grab the upstairs front seat on the bus, and as a young man he’d cycle round Hollywood rather than drive, while his camera was always in his hand.

With a Hockney exhibition currently running at Tate Britain, this is a timely repeat for Randall Wright’s vibrant film, first shown in 2015. It draws on Hockney’s personal video collection, diaries and candid interviews with friends (he’s “stubborn, unintentionally rude and generous to a fault”), to create a kaleidoscopic portrait, darting about different periods of his life and career. The effect is like Hockney’s Polaroid collages.
