SAINT LAURENT Special Screenings

Lavish and visually seductive, director Bertrand Bonello’s biopic of iconic French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent (Gaspard Ulliel) is also an intimate drama which covers the deeply personal landscapes of addiction and sexuality that underscore the story of Saint Laurent’s rise to international acclaim. The production design, costumes and cinematography capture the luster and color of the end of the 1960s and the beginning of the 1970s, emphasizing the correlation between the romantic and visual connections that Bonello builds between Saint Laurent’s artistic inspirations and oeuvre, and the mise-en-scène of the world of the film. Striking French actor and model Ulliel embodies the flair, melancholy and conflict of Saint Laurent’s artistic soul. The internationally renowned supporting cast includes Léa Seydoux, Jérémie Renier and Louis Garrel.
