I would have liked to have seen, the whole film.

@hirundine you can see the complete film free in BFI Mediatheques around the UK, and it will be included as an extra on the forthcoming BFI DVD/Blu-ray release of ‘A Bigger Splash’, out on 30 January 2012.

Thanks for your answer! Unfortunately, I live in W.Canada. The man, David Hockney, is obviously a really good artist. To be able to draw 2 parallel lines like that straight into the wax film takes considerable skill! IMO. Cheers!
