L'amour fou

A documentary on Yves Saint Laurent's professional life from the age of 20 on as told mainly by his partner Pierre Bergé.

It is interesting to look inside a world that one knows nothing about-- What appears on the everyday street is so far removed from the weird out of the world outfits of these fashion houses. They must have to make any serious money off accessories = purple purses and matching earrings and so forth...

My overriding question is why did Bergé sell off everything the minute Saint Laurent was dead?....that does not speak of a healthy relationship no matter how you try to dress it up. People who really love someone want to leave everything the same. Some lame excuse is offered that a museum was too expensive, I don't buy it. Bergé got some enormous sum from the auction 500 million Euros or something.

Bergé is a bit of a dour lower middle class pedestrian man strange combination.

It is an interesting exploration of a successful gay man's life. How often do we see that?
