"Hockney" sees the charismatic artist take director Randall Wright on an exclusive tour of his archives and into his studio, where he still paints seven days a week. The film looks back at Hockney's formative years in the British Pop Art scene and his experience of being a gay man as the AIDS crisis took hold, as well as his years working in California. A window into the artist's work, the film weaves together a portrait that includes frank interviews with close friends and never-before-seen footage.
