This one should make Matt very happy:

A great early example of the mixing of fiction and non-fiction. Haven't seen it in years and am looking forward to another viewing!

Has anyone got this and would care to comment on the DVD quality? Mine is on the way but I can't find any reviews for it. Is this such an obscurity? I think this has cult status written all over it and I am surprised noone mentions it more often.

Never been much of a Hockney fan.

Non-anamorphic.

I bet I could author the DVD better.

Ok, my copy arrived yesterday and already had a quick run through it. First of all, the extras are a joke: the interview with the director is in written form... ; then we come to a photo gallery that is just decent enough to be classified as "extra"; lastly, we have some trailers but for other First Run Features titles and not this one...

The only good thing about the DVD is the transfer itself which is in remarkable good shape for such an obscurity. Shame for that non-anamorphic issue...

BTW, Matt: you don't have to enjoy Hockney's work in order to watch this movie. It stands as a good movie all on its own right. This is good moviemaking any each way you see it. Besides, I personally think you look a bit like Hockney yourself but don't quote me on that...

There's some great tunes in it too.
This was on UK TV about 8 years ago and was a superfine OAR image.

Well, I've heard worse.

You're right -- Pinal suits you a lot better!
