The
public life of Yves Saint Laurent was as extravagant as it was
decadent, as a design prodigy and then the grand couturier of a fashion
empire, he influenced fifty years of style - but few are familiar with
the private life of the legend.
In Pierre Thoretton's L'AMOUR
FOU, Pierre Berge, the man with which YSL shared four decades of his
life and love, reflects on the equally extravagant history of their
personal relationship. Framed around the 2009 auction of the priceless,
elaborate art collection amas
sed by Yves
and Pierre personally over several decades, this extraordinary
documentary provides an unprecedented look at the life of the mythic
personality, whose personal life matched his public for elegance,
extravagance and passion.
An Official Selection of the Toronto
and Tribeca Film Festivals, L'AMOUR FOU is an un-missable film event
for fans of documentary film and fashion die-hards alike.
