About
Filmed over the course of three years, this portrait of fashion colossus Yves Saint Laurents final show was suppressed right after its first and only public screening at the 2007 Berlin Film Festival. The film was blocked by YSLs business (and on-and-off romantic) partner Pierre Bergé, who objected to the couturiers portrayal as frail and not quite all there, and to his own depiction of being the behind the scenes mastermind. (The dynamic between the two is said to have inspired Paul Thomas Andersons depiction of Daniel Day-Lewis and Lesley Manvilles characters in Phantom Thread.) Fortunately, Bergé relented in 2015 (he died in 2017), and thus Celebration is finally available. Director Olivier Meyrous film presents an opulent and immersive behind-the-scenes look at haute couture designer Yves Saint Laurents final show and is a priceless addition to our understanding of the man, the myth, la marque, that is Yves Saint Laurent.
