Saint-Laurent Documentary Cause for Celebration
While many
celebrities often seem all too eager to sign up for reality shows that
make them look insane or worse - anyone watching VH1's Shooting
Sizemore? - there are still some famous folk whose images are
ferociously guarded.
Take gay French fashion designer Yves Saint-Laurent, whose business
partner has fought for years to keep acclaimed filmmaker Oliver Meyrou's
documentary about YSL, Celebration, out of circulation.
The
film finally had its long-awaited debut at the Berlin Film Festival,
where critics noted that the doc portrays the legendary couturier as
being out of it, relying on his staff to get his collections finished.
With this kind of dishy heat behind it, Romeo is hoping some brave U.S.
distributor will step up and bring Celebration to theaters.
