Reviews

“An intimate portrait of the designer who has ruled the House of Chanel for more than two decades…an imperial figure if ever there was one. (Lagerfeld) exudes a papal grandeur….a mixture of eccentricity and severity. (He) resembles a man of the cloth, ‘a defrocked one,’ he says matter-of-factly.”
–Stephen Holden, The New York Times

“a rare glimpse into the soul of the fashion world”
–Entertainment Weekly

“Lagerfeld as a surprisingly affable on-camera demeanor and a charming, offbeat sense of humor.”
–Danica Lo and Raakhee Mirchandani, New York Post

“Filmmaker Rodolphe Marconi offers a rare glimpse into the world
of one of fashion’s most fascinating figures.”
–Jenna Gabrial Gallagher, Harper’s Bazaar

“A journey into the creative mind of this eccentric and iconic designer.”
–Patrick Huguenin, DailyNews.com

“Flashy, dazzling… (this) impressionistic documentary of fashion artist, costume designer and photographer Karl Lagerfeld, provides a relatively unvarnished examination of his reptilian charm, talent, and genius for promotion…It exerts an undeniable fascination that suggests a tantalizing synthesis of Bruce Weber’s study of Chet Baker, LET’S GET LOST, and Douglas Keeve’s portrait of Isaac Mizrahi, UNZIPPED.”
