Bill Cunningham New York is a 2010 American documentary film directed by Richard Press and produced by Philip Gefter.
For decades, this Schwinn-riding cultural anthropologist has been obsessively and inventively chronicling fashion trends and high-society charity soirées for the Times's Style section in his columns "On the Street" and "Evening Hours".
Full of uptown fixtures (such as Wintour, Tom Wolfe, Brooke Astor, David Rockefeller—who all appear in the film), downtown eccentrics and everyone in between, Cunningham's enormous body of work documents its time and place as well as individual flair.
Bill Cunningham New York portrays the man at work (on the street and at the office) and at home (a Carnegie Hall studio).
The film was critically well-received, garnering a 99% approval rating on movie review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.
