Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Inmechon The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
krutikarao Dior and I was nothing short of a mesmerizing glimpse into the working of the worlds most celebrated fashion house. This documentary captured eloquently the working of an artists mind. It shows Raf Simmons take a plunge into the couture work.Simmons, a ready-to -wear designer struggles with the art of mastering a couture line; that to, in a short span of 8 weeks. It also shows the language barriers between him (Belgian) and the workers. The behind the scenes gives you a beautiful glimpse into the creation of couture. These are not just garments, but the evolution of thought, love and effort. It portrays the love a creator has for his creation. The last bit was definitely the most enticing of all- the final moments where everyone waited for the models to walk the ramp- with tense faces and bated breaths. If you have a heart for fashion, this is definitely a must watch!
uslogin I find that if you have to make a "behind the scenes" style documentary, you really need to have a good story. For fashion nerds, Dior might be an icon, for the rest of us, these are just people, trying very hard to look like they are doing something meaningful. Also, it doesn't help the Raf is repeatedly accused of being a racist, for his refusal to use non white models. It killed the fun for me, as I'm sure it will for others.I think in our day and age, something like this could not exist out of cultural and historical context, including the unpleasant sides of the world of fashion, especially considering they also had on their patrol John Galliano.
Hellmant 'DIOR AND I': Two and a Half Stars (Out of Five)A documentary film about acclaimed fashion designer Raf Simons; and his work as the creative director, for Christian Dior S.A. (better known simply as Dior). It was written and directed by Frederic Tcheng and stars Simons (as himself). The movie also features cameos by Marion Cotillard, Isabelle Huppert, Sharon Stone and Jennifer Lawrence (which is the main reason I saw the film); as themselves as well. Although the movie is consistently beautiful to look at, it's also extremely boring. The film focuses on Belgian fashion designer Raf Simons. It begins in 2012, when he first replaced Bill Gaytten, as the creative director for Dior, and it follows him around as he passionately directs the French fashion house's employees. The filmmakers interview Simons, as well as several other Dior fashion artists. It all leads up to the debut of Simons' first 'haute couture' collection. The movie is somewhat interesting, but really slow-paced, and mostly a bore (at least in my opinion). I do like watching beautiful women, in beautiful and glamorous clothes, but I'm not that interested in the 'behind the scenes' of how the fashion industry functions. This should be an interesting movie, for those that are though. Jennifer Lawrence only briefly appears, in a nonspeaking part, as an audience member at the big final show.Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: https://youtu.be/bOI7ZdxfHTQ
Larry Silverstein This interesting documentary, directed by Frederic Tcheng (Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has To Travel), gives us a behind-the-scenes look inside the House of Dior, in Paris. It centers on the newly hired Creative Director Raf Simons, along with his right-hand man Pieter Mulier, as they prepare for Simons' first haute couture show, to be held in just 8 weeks.Normally, a show such as this would take 4 to 6 months to prepare, so we'll see first hand the stress and uncertainties Simons will face as he gets to know the staff and the operations of the company. As he faces this extreme deadline, we will even be privy to his own personal concerns, including references to what certainly seemed like possible anxiety attacks.The film is cleverly interspersed with old film clips of the founder of the company, the renowned designer Christian Dior, who died in 1957. Dior will also narrate these clips in a most haunting way, also exposing his personal doubts as he prepared for his first haute couture show many decades before.Overall, although I admittedly know nothing about haute couture, I still found this documentary to be most interesting, as we see how what seems to be chaos, deadlines , and frenzied work lead in the end to a most amazing finished product.
