Saint Laurent Trailer – Take a look at Gaspard Ulliel in 2014’s 2nd biopic of the gay fashion designer

July 25, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Saint-Laurent-Gaspard-Uriel-poster-slideThis year we’ve already has one biopic of Yves Saint Laurent, which arrived on DVD in the UK a couple of weeks ago (and you can read our review here). However that’s not the only one, as another, simply title Saint Laurent, is on its way, and the trailer has now arrived.

While Yves Saint Laurent starring Pierre Niney in the title role was an ‘official’ movie, backed by the fashion designer’s lover, Pierre Bergé, and using clothes from the vault of YSL, Saint Laurent is a more independent affair.

The film stars Gaspard Ulliel (Hannibal Rising) in the title role, with Jérémie Renier (In Bruges) as Bergé. The likes of Louis Garrel (The Dreamers), Lea Seydoux (Blue Is The Warmest Colour), and Helmut Berger also star.

The movie, which charts Saint Laurent’s rise to the top of the fashion world, recently premiered at Cannes and will be in cinemas later this year. Unfortunately the trailer is in French, but if you don’t speak the language you can bask in the style. [Read more…]

Cloclo (DVD)

August 29, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Jeremie Renier, Benoit Magimel, Monica Scattini, Sabrina Seyvecou
Director: Florent-Emilio Siri
Running Time: 142 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: September 3rd 2012

I think Cloclo is gonna be a tough sell for a lot of people. It’s one thing watching a biopic of a famous face of yesteryear, but it’s another get people to watch a movie about a French guy they’ve probably never heard of, whose main claim to fame outside France is that he co-wrote the original version of Sinatra’s My Way. It doesn’t help either that he was a bit of an asshole.

However despite the fact I can’t imagine too many people picking this out as their preferred viewing option, it’s not a bad movie. Jérémie Renier plays Claude Francois – aka Cloclo – who was born in Egypt to a French family, but during the Suez crisis is forced to leave along with his family. Back in Europe he yearns to make music, even though his father disapproves. [Read more…]
