| | Film-Forward Review: [YVES SAINT LAURENT/HIS LIFE AND TIMES/YVES SAINT LAURENT: 5 AVENUE MARCEAU, 755116 PARIS] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) |
 | | The interviews remain superficial: director Teboul seems to be so impressed by glitter, glamour and famous people that he falls into an uncritical silence. |
 | | We never hear why Yves broke with his partner, Pierre Bergé, or exactly what “dangerous things” he did with his confidante, Betty Catroux. |
 | | It’s incomprehensible, then, why this film, which makes use of much rehashed material, doesn’t include footage of the dramatic press conference Saint Laurent gave in 2002 where the couturier, on the verge of a nervous breakdown, announced that he was forced to quit because there’s no longer any room for haute couture. |
