Saint Laurent

Saint Laurent tells the story of fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent at the peak of his career between 1967 and 1976, a decade marked by freedom but also personal turmoil. The film begins with Saint Laurent alone and depressed in a hotel room after a night of partying, where he makes a sensational call to a newspaper journalist about his private life. As the story unfolds, we see Saint Laurent's rise to fame as a leading voice in French fashion, his persistent pursuit of model Betty Catroux, and his tumultuous same-sex relationships with business manager Pierre Bergé and young male operative Jacques de Bascher. Through the highs and lows of Saint Laurent's career and personal life, the film offers a glimpse into the excesses and decadence of 1960s Paris nightlife.
