Saint Laurent focuses on the dark, hedonistic, and wildly creative decade (1967-1977) in Yves Saint Laurent’s life and career. The couturier becomes a myth, a brand and an avatar of his era, moving through a string of ateliers and nightclubs whose centers of gravity all seem to realign around him.

Daring director Bertrand Bonello fashioned this stylish biopic of French designer YSL through episodic, period-detail perfection. Flaunting a starry cast with the late Gaspard Ulliel at its helm, Saint Laurent is an intoxicating ride through the performative artifice of fashion.
