AFFAIR OF THE HEART, Saint Laurent

Gaspard Ulliel as Yves Saint Laurent, SAINT LAURENT, 2014

 
This 2014 biopic by Bertrand Bonello inspired me, and is a perfect treat for a loved one on St. Valentine's Day.  My good friend, Mary, had recorded it for me from STARZ, and I adored it!

SAINT LAURENT


SAINT LAURENT

Do check out this film, if you can, there was another one made, which I haven't seen yet, but I hear this one is more jazzy and interesting from the point of view of having a most attractive young French actor portray the fabulous, volatile, and mercurial YSL in the sixties and seventies.  Look for Lou Lou and Betty Catroux too!  So chic! (in French with English translation).  DF ***** bonne fete de Saint-Valentin
