Yves Saint Laurent (2014)

As any movie about an icon in the fashion world should be, this movie is sumptuous, exotically layered, beautifully filmed and scored. I wish that there had been more about the last half of Yves Saint Laurent's life, both in fashion and personal issues. The bi-polar episodes were painful to watch. I never realized that his life partner, Pierre Berge was so critical to Yves Saint Laurent's success by keeping Saint Laurent as safe as possible and allowing clothing design to take precedence in all things. This movie is well-acted. Subtitles do not bother me, I know they can take some viewers away from a movie. While this film may be more emotional than literal regarding the life of Yves Saint Laurent, it was certainly entertaining.
