Documentary Film: David Hockney: A Bigger Splash
Although he is English, David Hockney came to fame as the quintessential painter of Southern California and its swimming pools. A Bigger Splash chronicles a critical period in his life from 1970 to 1973, following the break-up of his relationship with Peter Schlesinger, the subject of many of his drawings and paintings, and how Hockney’s friends rallied to his side to help him get through his depression. (1974, with closed captioning, 105 minutes.)
