I went to see "The Immigrant" in which a friend plays Aunt Edyta (a good film, go see it!), and noticed a preview for a movie about Yves Saint Laurent. It's already been released in the UK but it'll still be several weeks until it comes to the US... has anyone seen this yet? It doesn't seem to have gotten very good reviews.
I read a review too, and it seems its a bit on the artsy side… however, the clothes in the movie are real YSL - Pierre Berge insisted they use dresses from the YSL archives!!!!!
I just read somewhere (The New Yorker?) that there are actually two YSL movies coming out, nearly simultaneously. One is supposed to be annoying, the other pretty good. I will try to figure out where I read it and share...
It's on here in cinemas too, but I haven't found time to see it yet, and I didn't want to watch it on a plane because of the very small screen. In a nutshell, my paper's critique was the story wasn't great, but the costumes looked good.
