Nominated in 10 categories at the 2015 César Awards, this biopic that scorns the conventions of the genre offers a staging of grace and inspiration at every turn.

1967 – 1976. The meeting of one of the greatest fashion designers of all time with a free decade. Neither of them will emerge intact.

The life of Yves Saint Laurent, mostly between 1967 and 1976, his professional and emotional torments as well as his relationship with the dandy Jacques de Bascher and the one who will become his companion, Pierre Bergé. The film focuses on his working methods, as well as his encounter with his two muses, Loulou de la Falaise and Betty Catroux.

Bonello summed up the film’s premise, “We weren’t interested in showing how Yves Saint Laurent became a genius. We wanted to show what it cost him every day to be who he was, and that’s why, at the beginning of the film, he is already a star.

    Description : Cartier. Fabulous legend. A reputation as an avant-garde label, glamor, tradition and innovation, establishment and anti-conformism.

    To tell Cartier is to cross the mirror of the futile to go towards the precious, from coquetry to provocation, from chic minimalism to excessive extravagance. Telling Cartier is also starting from a private story to speak sideways about more than 160 years of French history. The film will interweave the historical landmarks of the House, leave the museum, unearth archives, play on anachronism by telescoping eras; to revive these precious objects, and to open the chests; present them on the body and the skin, sensual support and final destination of a jewel. Gorgeous.
