johann m @Johann33 03/08/2022 🇫🇷 This 2014 biographical film is based on the life of French designer Yves Saint-Laurent from the early beginning of his career in 1958 when he met his lover and business partner, Pierre Bergé and together they built a formidable fashion empire despite their terribly complex life together. The outstanding performances are the highlight of the movie, but sadly the plot suffers from an awkward structure and an ending that will make the viewer wonder what it was all about. What's the point of telling this particular story? It is just showing a really bad side of the late designer, presenting him as a terrible person. There is nothing innovative about it, it doesn't go deep into the drama, but it manages to be entertaining nonetheless given the visually appealing scenes and the expectation that something great will happen.

See more 02/07/2017 Includes a balanced mix of the icon's fashion history, debauchery and sexual tension.

The film looks gorgeous in terms of location and the clothes etc... The only drawback, practically non-existant English subtitles. A great shame because I enjoyed the film, despite its 101 minute duration. Only recommended if your french speaking abilities, aren't too rusty. I did struggle with this. 3.5 stars, would've been a clean 4 with better subtitles. See more 09/14/2015 It kind of assumed that you knew general biographical information about Yves Saint Larent and glossed over some details that might have helped the movie be stronger. For what it was, it was good, but it could have been better. See more Read all reviews
