Athina Rachel Tsangari has become one of the foremost figures of the so-called “Greek Weird Wave”—a movement characterized by its fascination with human behavior, bitingly absurdist humor, and arresting visual style—both as a director and as a producer for contemporaries such as Yorgos Lanthimos. Her films, however, showcase a bold vision that goes way beyond the merely “weird,” offering a provocative perspective on family, sexuality, power dynamics, and the inherent strangeness of human interaction. In this original documentary, David Thompson travels to the Greek island of Hydra to meet up with Tsangari and discuss her directorial philosophy and what it means to “live cinema.”

随着美国真人秀在网络世界的广泛传播,曾经让人觉得神秘遥远的时尚圈也渐渐变得公开透明,Project Runway让我们知道时装设计师如何将几块布料（甚至是生果蔬菜）经过精心设计制作成剪裁合体创意绝伦的高级时装;America's Next Top Model向我们展示了模特界的生死斗战场;近期热播的The Hills则揭开了在顶尖时尚杂志做实习生的内幕,设计师、模特、时装编辑…下一个insider会是谁？该是捧星造星的幕后关键人物——造型师了！而这位敢跟我们的恶魔(Anna Wintour)拉破脸，品牌们也要重金重礼巴结，令明星们唯命是从的就是好莱坞时尚教主——Rachel Zoe。以她的名字命名的真人秀节目“The Rachel Zoe Project”将于9月8日在美国Bravo电台首播，这个节目将透过Rachel的日常工作和生活告诉我们造型师与时尚界间如何运作，有兴趣进入时尚圈的人千万别错过。 　　作为一个造型师，她个人着装风格复古低凋，常常走７０年代路线，招牌look是健康的小麦肌肤，过膝的one-piece及超大乌蝇镜，翻开Rachel Zoe的客人名单我们就知道她不容小觑：Nicole Richie, Cameron Diaz, Lindsay Lohan, Mischa Barton, Keira Knightley, Jessica Simpson……全部都是好莱坞大腕，她就是这些街拍追踪的时尚偶像们的偶像，可以说她是这个移动广告时代的幕后推手。她的决定影响着我们在各大颁奖典礼的红地毯事件里喜欢谁，唾弃谁。她的眼光关系着时装周上的show piece会不会成为当季热卖的“IT”款。而她的衣橱可能是所有时装迷的终级幻想，除了那些让人眼花缭乱的鞋履，还有价值连城的珠宝，从琳琅满目的设计师单品到收藏级别的绝版古着，应有尽有，冲着这6000美金一天的顾问费砸出来的时装城堡，此秀也值得一追。 　　这部真人秀拍摄主要场地是Rachel位于好莱坞比华利山上的豪宅，主要讲述Rachel及她的两个助手Taylor Jacobson和Brad Goreski如何应付一个个tough的任务和各种突如其来的危机，穿梭于名牌店、时装周及工作室之间，除此之外，Rachel还要努力在紧张繁忙的工作日程和老公Roger之间争取平衡，对于她这个爱时装多过爱自己的工作狂显然是不太可能的，所以从preview开始夫妻间的矛盾就初见端倪，更令她头疼的是两个助手Taylor和Brad还合不大来，Taylor是个动作麻利做事严谨的人，不喜欢开玩笑，基本上是她的监督才让Rachel的工作有条不紊忙而不乱，而Brad是个新手（长得很像Ugly Betty里的Mark），常常出错还不够主动，让Taylor非常抓狂，可是在Brad犯错的时候，Rachel没有严厉责备他反而温言软语相向，充当两个人之间的和事佬，这点让我十分意外和感动，之前在论坛上看到一些设计师说Rachel从来不大牌性格非常好的传言看来是真的。另外，我们也可以发现，好的Stylist并不是自以为是完全凭个人品味话事，客人能否在聚光灯下博得满堂彩才最重要，有时侯也要牺牲个人的风格偏好。 　　剧中，Rachel看到一对好看的耳环她会说“它美得要了我的命，我快哭出来了，让我戴着它们进棺材吧.”或者“纽约时装周就是我的爱丽丝仙境”，站在最让纽约女人憧憬的古着店New York Vintage里她会尖叫“天哪，看那件Karl Lagerfeld 设计的紫色Chloe古着雪纺裙，我要死掉了”，那些穿着完美无缺时装的时刻对她来说简直就是fashion orgasm，这种近似疯狂的热爱是极其感染人的，也生动地让我感受到这个36岁女人的可爱，去年，Rachel Zoe已经出了本时尚指南Style A to Zoe: The Art of Fashion, Beauty, and Everything Glamour，今年涉足TV show,按照这样的版图扩张速度下一步是不是会看到她操刀的时装大戏啊？！ 　　转自：http://fashionmoments.blogbus.com/logs/27858220.html
