Directed by D.W. Young (THE BOOKSELLERS) and executive produced by Wes Anderson, UNCROPPED rediscovers the work of James Hamilton, one of the great chroniclers of the cultural history of America. Working as a staff photographer during the heyday of alternative print media, most notably for The Village Voice, Hamilton captured some of the most remarkable people and stories of the last half century.
A New York legend himself, Hamilton created iconic images of musicians like Charles Mingus, Patti Smith and Lou Reed, took intimate portraits of everyone from Liza Minnelli to Alfred Hitchcock, broke off to do set photography for George Romero, Noah Baumbach and Wes Anderson, and pursued powerful and controversial assignments across the U.S. and the world. All the while he never stopped amassing a stunning visual chronicle of his beloved New York City in all its grit and glory.
“A visually stunning, roller coaster ride of a documentary" - Unpaid Film Critic
”Must-See. A rich and absorbing documentary… if you want to hear everyone from Wes Anderson to Thurston Moore reflecting on the contrasts that make New York look and sound like no other city on Earth, you can’t do much better than UNCROPPED.” - IndieWire
”Compelling” - The Hollywood Reporter
