A pure Failure
22 July 2014
The worst movie after "Wilde" 1996 with Stephen Fry and Jude Law. The true about Great Yves St Laurent is in his works it is not in his sexuality. This movie is the second after Wilde that synthesizes two genres - biography with gay soft porno. As a cinema it is zero. We can watch it on the level of the texture - a big misunderstanding, lack of consistency that materialize the psychotic moment in life of Yves.But why this should be interesting, why this orgiastic presentation of the life of genius. I prefer Yves Saint Laurent Aufgehoben in movies, f.ex Visconti 's collaboration with Laurent- Berger, Joseph Losey's ("Romantic English Woman), Claude Lelouch, etc.The authors only superficially placed the topic of neurotic obsession, hysteria and they ferociously fail to do something with this, so why they mention it at all..use it or lose it. Again, not much to be said about such biographic soft porn melodrama. I am sure Berge and Slimane are dismissing the movie
