Criticism
"The fact that this man has revamped the fashion, had to be written separately in the credits, it would otherwise have gone unnoticed. Lesperts film could have a large audience say something truthful and trivialized instead his hero and his life's work. Fashion without meaning is just nothing but a shell. And the most splendid cinema is nothing without good movies. "
"How do you film now as a flickering, manic creative life? French director Jalil Lespert has decided to tell it as a love story. And actually is with him not the unstable artist in the spotlight, but his partner Pierre Berge and support, which is described in the film as infinitely gracious, kind and patient. And despite mundane ingredients like models, Marrakech, Nikolai Kinski (very convincingly ) as Karl Lagerfeld, a rooftop terrace with views of the Arc de Triomphe or cocaine, the film is cross -behaved and trustworthy, as if it were the inventor of the source catalog. Whoever Yves Saint Laurent was, he did not deserve such a harmless movie. "
"Even if the screenplay based on Laurence Benaims biography has few surprises, the well-known biographical cornerstone abfeiert, understands the film but to tie in any setting, especially through the grandiose performances of his actors. "
