IFC Films reports it has acquired US rights to distribute director Pierre Thorentton’s documentary "Yves Saint Laurent: L’Amour Fou", produced by Kristina Larsen of Le Films du Lendemain and Hugues Charbonneau of Les Films de Pierre, showcasing the late, French fashion designer.
"...Upon Yves Saint Laurent’s death, his companion Pierre Berge decided to sell their private art collection, a sale considered to be 'the auction of the century'. Each object and art piece seemed to tell a story about their personal lives. This film, filled with rare material archives and exclusive images of their homes, tells their story through this 'auction': a story of love, art and ethics..."
"All of us at IFC Films were intrigued by the story told in this film," said IFC Films Jonathan Sehring. "While it documents a glamorous icon, it also carries themes of love and success, elements to make it a picture that appeals to all."
