Lagerfeld Confidential 

Directed by Rodolphe Marconi

Beloved Chanel helmer Karl Lagerfeld reached the height of his iconic status in the past few years, developing a thought-out uniform of tight suits, high collars, dark sunglasses, and a sprinkling of S&M-chic accessories. Rubbing elbows with Nicole Kidman and her ilk, Lagerfeld has always seemed as enigmatic as the fashion industry he thrives in. The lack of hype for Rodolphe Marconi’s doc on the designer is surprising — the French director reveals a frank, witty Renaissance man in Lagerfeld, without letting his aura of fabulous dissipate.
