McQueen - 2018 - 6/10
Penetrating documentary of the troubled fashion designer.
Good overview of his journey from talented, omnivorous cutter to apprenticeship with leading houses.
After he formed his own company his runway shows became legendary.
Hiring on to Givenchy seemed a stumble, which is analyzed.
Film does not shy away from McQueen’s darker aspect and excesses, leading to the final act.
Perhaps better for fashionistas, though accessible to the curious.
