CGiii Comment

Pierre Bergé...what a horrid, little man who certainly likes to talk and, has a talent for blowing his own trumpet.

He and Saint Laurent split in 1976...this is his overly-verbose version of their story.

A story that culminated in Bergé selling everything owned by YSL before he was cold in his coffin.

Is anyone actually interested in Pierre Bergé?

No...quite rightly so. A redundant, self-important film.


Trailer...

The(ir) Blurb...

Shortly after the death of Yves Saint Laurent (1936-2008), his lover Pierre Bergé talks to the camera about their life together, moving chronologically from their meeting when 21-year-old Saint Laurent became creative director at Christian Dior upon the founder's death, through twice-annual unveilings of new collections, life in Marrakesh, Saint Laurent's depression and drug use, sobriety, and retirement. The boxing and auctioning of their vast collection of art brings the story to a close. Archival photos and news footage as well as interviews with a few friends give texture to Bergé's account.
