Really a disappointment for me, since, in addition to the main story of the relationship between Yves Saint-Laurent and his partner of 50+ years Pierre Bergé, I was really hoping for a lot more about the rise of the fashion empire that YSL helped create and maintain for so many years. Instead, in addition to the story about their relationship (told almost exclusive through the words of Bergé), the story focused almost exclusively on the art collection the pair amassed throughout the years. Not really the kind of creation I was hoping to see, and as such, I was less interested in the movie than I could have been.
Not to mention, even though the movie was not even 100 minutes long, the amount of time the camera spent lingering over a raindropped window or panning back and forth over the immense art collection made it seem much much longer. And for a documentary that was mostly a pair of interviews with Bergé, it felt very long, indeed.
Score: 5/10
