With Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé
The public life of Yves Saint Laurent was as extravagant as it was decadent, as a design prodigy and then the grand couturier of an fashion empire he influenced fifty years of style — but few are familiar with the private life of the legend. In Pierre Thoretton’s L’AMOUR FOU, Pierre Bergé, the man with which YSL shared four decades of his life and love, reflects on the equally extravagant history of their personal relationship. Framed around the 2009 auction of the priceless, elaborate art collection amassed by Yves and Pierre personally over several decades, this extraordinary documentary provides an unprecedented look at the life of a mythic personality, whose personal life matched his public for elegance, extravagance and passion. L’AMOUR FOU is an un-missable film event for fans of documentary film and fashion die-hards alike. (In French with English subtitles)

“Guaranteed to satisfy the Francophile and the fashionista in one fell swoop, with equal parts romanticism, elliptical French philosophizing, and a tasteful dab of decadence”-Vanity Fair
