Bill Cunningham: New York

Aroview: A surprise sleeper hit on the arthouse box-office circuit, this is a poignant and gently humorous portrait of street fashion photographer Bill Cunningham, and his decades-long anthropology of clothing trends on both the sidewalks and in the ballrooms of New York society.

Gaining entry into the most elite circles with his modest, non-threatening persona, he also gains respect for his wily resourcefulness and round-the-clock dedication to his work.
