Beyond the glamour and flashing lights of the runway, the house of Yves Saint Laurent is the epitome of opulence. Olivier Meyrou was given total access to film from 1998 to 2001, but after its sole screening in 2007, Pierre Bergé, co-founder and the puppet master behind the curtain, sued to suppress the film. Freed from legal constraints after Bergé’s recent death, Celebration dives into the day-to-day activity of the renowned couturier. Meyrou lifts the veil on the YSL myth through the final years Saint Laurent led his eponymous fashion house before retiring in 2002. A chain-smoking Saint Laurent ponders his artistic measurements while Bergé oversees each thread with a meticulous eye. (AG) All screenings preceded byaprovocation from Ricardo Dominguez.
