A look at the life of French designer Yves Saint Laurent from the beginning of his career in 1958 when he met his lover and business partner, Pierre Berge.
The ‘official’ biopic of the couturier takes a glossy look at his fascinating, but tragic life.
Hardcore fashionistas will doubtless flock to drool over the endless catwalk shows, packed with genuine YSL archive pieces.
[Not] enough to sustain a feature-lenght biopic.
Verdict: Good-looking biopic.
Offers very few surprises. You'd do better to read his Wikipedia entry while glossing over a copy of French Vogue.
