General Audiences
Alternately comic and poignant, "Waiting for Hockney" explores the precarious line between dreams and delusions. An art-school graduate from a working-class background, Billy Pappas aims to reinvent realism and spends eight years on a single drawing, obsessively working to show a microscopic level of detail. Aided/enabled by an eccentric cast of characters - including a clergyman and an architect calling himself "Dr. Lifestyle" - Billy finally completes the portrait only to begin another Sisyphean task: a quest for validation from renowned contemporary artist David Hockney.
