Enfant terrible and a true fashion visionary, anarchist provocateur of the catwalk, a timid child form a labour-class family in London who managed to set the world of high fashion on fire with his glamorous creations, a tragic suicide. If there was a way for someone to sum up even a small part of this ingenious talent, the wildly beautiful world and the meteoric course of life, art and death of Alexander McQueen, it is found in this documentary.
Impressive shots from his spectacular shows, many celebrities, collaborators and friends speaking revealingly about him, aesthetics that draw from his grand guignol extravaganzas and the wonderful music of Michael Nyman become the precious elements of a film that enchant the viewers while breaking their hearts.
