Jean Paul Gaultier’s latest creation is not a dress but a revue. The grand dame he has dressed this time is the legendary Folies Bergères theater. Yann L’Hénoret’s camera follows the couturier and all the show’s performers in the most intimate way… like a companion, a confidant at every moment. The documentary features poignant and sincere testimonies in which Jean Paul Gaultier explains the scenes he has chosen to stage for his autobiographical revue.
It is the birth of a work, the fulfillment of a childhood dream, the tenacious will of a man, and an unprecedented journey into the depths of his mind that the documentary highlights.
