Yves Saint Laurent was the last of the great Parisian couturiers. In 2002, he bid the fashion world adieu with one final collection. Celebration is an immersive experience in an industry that can sometimes feel like you’re on another planet. This portrait of a fashion icon in those final years takes the form of a panoramic, no-nonsense montage of observations behind the scenes, with Saint Laurent seeming fragile and at times a little remote. The man himself remains out of the picture most of the time, and it’s his partner Pierre Bergé who directs the industrious seamstresses, the models, the photo sessions, and pretty much anything else happening on the work floor. Impressions filmed in black and white are intercut with other events, such as members of his staff visiting a vacant building where the fashion house was once based, a ceremony at the Luxor obelisk, a speech Saint Laurent gives in New York upon receiving an award, and excerpts from an interview with a journalist in which he seems vulnerable but optimistic. After initially cooperating with the film, the fashion company objected to its release. An earlier version was shown at the 2007 Berlinale.

A documentary on Yves Saint-Laurent and the legendary fashion designer's final show.

同性恋在上世纪60年代仍是禁忌，却因此更加刺激。翻看那些年的时装杂志，不难发现巴黎最时髦的同性恋审美观，是一种带着30年代脆弱、纤娇、又混合名著小说里书生气质的Dandy美态，包括Yves Saint Laurent。　　1957年接掌Dior时装屋后，Yves认识了到巴黎学画却成为艺术品商人的Pierre Berge。1961年开始，Yves Saint Laurent与Pierre Berge同居，并携手开创YSL时装屋。间中两人分分合合，但始终维持友好、搭档关系，共同投资艺术、别墅、买卖。　　Pierre生性霸道爱控制，Yves是个生活白痴。Yves不但依赖Pierre打点生活起居，甚至任由他在工作室指挥咆哮，策划买卖并购翻云覆雨。某次Pierre到纽约会见媒体大亨John Fairchild午餐时，接到Yves追魂夺命电话，原来家宅漏水他不知道要找谁。Yves相信“创意是痛苦的杰作”，随时处在崩溃边缘，口头禅是“死定了，没救了，我要自杀……”，是Pierre守着他，陪着他，逼着他，把每一季做完，甚至把他一步步推上T台谢幕。　　　　可是，两人的关系十分极端。这一秒如漆似胶，下一刻却世界大战。1976年，因Yves迷上Karl“圈养”的美少男Jacques de Bascher，大吵大闹后，Pierre搬离了他们的寓所。Yves觉得自己被抛弃，每天处于企图自杀的崩溃边缘。Yves与Pierre两人关系密切，但又看不出如Yves与Jacques般的情爱火花。Pierre时时刻刻提醒Yves的“时装大师”的责任，也替他实现创作梦想，却不是放纵的梦想。所以，Yves在Jacques身边，找到了罪恶、不羁，爱得欲火焚身。

法国男星加斯帕德·尤利尔（Gaspard Ulliel）将在传奇大师伊夫圣罗兰（Yves Saint Laurent）的传记电影中饰演这位公开同性恋。YSL被誉为“色彩创造者”，…

At just under 10 minutes, the film brings to life a fusion of pleasure mixed with terror. It begins dark, transporting the viewer into a woodsy scene where it must be close to midnight and who knows what can happen in the middle of nowhere.

伊夫·圣罗兰，法国历史上最伟大的设计师之一，在同名品牌创建后，从1962年至2002年，他每年会为他的品牌打造两个高级定制系列。而这些高级定制的背后，是一幅又一幅由圣罗兰本人亲自绘画的手稿。本片将最有代表性的几幅手稿展现在圣罗兰生前最亲密的同事和伙伴面前，让我们从他们的口中了解圣罗兰这个品牌的前世今生。

A record of the Yves Saint Laurent from his sketches to examining final versions of his designs. The clothes themselves have a starring role: spectacularly beautiful, made of the most exotic and fragile materials, modeled by women whose dimensions defy reality.

这是英国第一部朋克电影，灵感来源于一个打扮惹火的女郎对一个男同性恋的刺激。而电影本身俨然就是一场英国梦的破碎，对于《庆典》来说，它不记录历史，它创造历史，它看到了毁灭，如同影片当中咆哮的音乐，振聋发聩。这里没有艺术，也没有未来，影片致始致都终弥漫着一种虚无主义和无政府主义的情绪：朋克青年们在街道上闲逛，歇斯底里，杀死那些愚蠢到胆敢单独外出的行人，然后把尸体扔进干涸的泰晤士河，而警察却在一旁哈哈大笑。人们腐朽堕落，世界毫无指望，人们通过各种极端的方式发泄，而一切看上去却依然无济于事，只有原始，蛮荒。

《停车》、《医生》导演钟孟宏的作品，从‘庆典’的观点出发，呈现台北面貌的改变及事件的发生，也检视了这块土地的历史，从现今的眼光再看本片，更能感受到台北变迁的痕迹。
