Hailed by Martin Scorsese as one of the finest films ever made about an artist, Jack Hazan's *A Bigger Splash* offers an intimate and unconventional look at English painter David Hockney during his California years.
The Film
Part narrative, part documentary, the film captures Hockney alongside his circle of friends—including his muse and partner Peter Schlesinger—against the backdrop of a hedonistic 1970s art scene. Far from standard biographical filmmaking, it serves as a tender time capsule of queer romance and an unvarnished window into the creative process.
