L'Amour Fou

French director Pierre Thoretton made his feature debut with compelling documentary about the relationship between fashion designer Yves Saint-Laurent and his lover, Pierre Bergé. As Bergé prepares to auction their vast art collection, he reflects on their relationship and Saint-Laurent's rise in the fashion world. The presence of Bergé along with the archival footage works in Thoretton's favor to deliver a portrait of the two men. Those expecting to see more of creative process of Yves Saint-Laurent will be disappointed. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
