This documentary examines the life and work of the late fashion designer Yves Saint-Laurent, recounting how a frail prodigy prone to bouts of depression became an icon of the fashion world. Initially appointed head of the House of Dior in 1957 before growing into a globally recognized designer in his own right, Saint-Laurent overcomes his struggles with substance abuse, accumulating a large art collection alongside his lifelong personal and professional partner, Pierre Bergé.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Fashionistas and the Art Basel crowd may be enthralled, but for everyone else the documentary L'Amour Fou (Crazy Love) is a slog.
– Rene Rodriguez,

fresh:
For fashion lovers, the film's mini-retrospective of Saint Laurent's work should be a thrill.
– Colin Covert,

fresh:
The film engages on its own terms, and if you don't love the clothes, you'll likely find one or more of the couple's houses to be more to your liking, in that nose-pressed-against-the-glass way.

rotten:
"L'Amour Fou" is an elegant fabric without the rough texture of real life and love.
– Joe Williams,

Beautifully filmed, "L'Amour Fou" is often quite moving as it documents the dismantling of a mutual life.
