Featured review
Intriguing, dream-like
I really enjoyed Lagerfeld Confidential. I actually found it quite riveting. I enjoyed the stream of consciousness-like feel and I really enjoyed Lagerfeld's dry, insightful and light humour. The nameless people who drifted throughout added to the dream-like quality and you had to guess who they were or what relationship they had (or not) to Lagerfeld.
I may be completely wrong, but reviews which panned this because they said it is not revealing at all, have missed the point. I get the feeling that Lagerfeld is exactly as he is portrayed here. I have met people similar to him in my life and that's how they are. Even though Lagerfeld had say over the final product, I still think this would be quite close to how he is in life. He is very self contained. I thought overall it was intriguing.
I found Lagerfeld's childhood story and how he internalized his mother's reaction to be very sad. .
Lagerfeld made some very profound comments about life towards the end which I found surprising and quite fascinating. I think the title says it all. Lagerfeld said he did not want to be a reality in anyone's lives. He wants to be like an apparition. He thinks solitude is a victory. I think that's the theme of this movie and it came through very clearly. The fact that it wasn't the typical doc is what makes even more interesting.
