'Saint Laurent' Offers Look at 'Tortured' Life of Style Icon (Exclusive Trailer)
Of the two biopics about Yves Saint Laurent released in the past year, Saint Laurent is the one that delves deeper into the late fashion designer’s psyche. (Watch the premiere of the film’s U.S. trailer above, exclusively on Yahoo Movies.)
"[It] Reflects more of the designer’s tortured creative drive in its dark onyx surfaces," wrote Variety's Guy Lodge. “It’s the slightly deranged auteur portrait that a fellow artist and iconoclast deserves.” Critic Lisa Nesselson echoed the thought in her review: “It’s said that one must suffer to be beautiful. Thrilling in places, self-indulgent in others, Saint Laurent strongly suggests that one must suffer to make others beautiful.”
French actor Gaspard Ulliel plays the titular style icon in the film, opening in select theaters May 8.
