“YSL: L’Amour Fou” arrives in the mail
After waiting for over a year I finally get the chance to watch YSL: L’Amour Fou. The documentary chronicles the life of French fashion designer, Yves Saint Laurent with his lifelong partnership with Pierre Bergé. It also examines Bergé’s decision to auction off a lifetime of valuable art amassed by the couple upon Saint Laurent’s death, such as paintings by Picasso and ancient Egyptian statues – it was known as “the auction of the century."
The documentary showed at the Toronto International Film Festival last year, but sadly I missed the opportunity to see its premiere.
I pre-ordered an advance copy of the DVD from Amazon.ca over two months ago and since then I’ve been counting down the days until it arrived. Well folks guess what was in the mail today! And you know what I’ll be doing later this evening – yup, watching “YSL: L’Amour Fou!!”
To give you a taste and feel of the movie I’ve posted the trailer below. Enjoy!
