L'Amour Fou

Longtime business partner and lover Pierre Bergé gives a fascinating, heartfelt commentary in this intriguing, informative, 93-minute, cameo-dotted (Catherine Deneuve, Andy Warhol, Mick Jagger, Linda Evangelista, The Village People, François Mitterrand, Nicolas Sarkozy, and Carla Bruni) 2010 documentary in which he chronicles the legendary, 51-year career of iconic French fashion designer Yves Matthieu Saint Laurent (1936-2008), who took over the House of Dior at age 21, and gives insights into their personal lives through still photographs, archival film footage, interviews with muses Loulou De La Falaise and Betty Catroux and star Jack Lang, his priceless art collection (artworks by Picasso, Mondrian, Brancusi, Modigliani, Matisse, and Braque) that was auctioned at Christie's, and tours of their opulent homes in Paris on the West Bank, Normandy, and Marrakech.
