William Eggleston in the Real World

During the past three decades, William Eggleston has emerged as one of America's most influential photographers. Critically celebrated for his color images of seemingly banal subjects, and hailed by some as the heir to Walker Evans’s artistic muse, the laconic and reclusive Memphis native receives a surprisingly intimate examination from filmmaker Michael Almereyda (NADJA and 2000’s HAMELT starring Ethan Hawke.) Almereyda presents a rare cinematic encounter, in which one artist salutes another. "Subtle, elegant" - Village Voice.
