Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2013: #29. Bertrand Bonello’s Yves Saint Laurent

Date:

Yves Saint Laurent

Director: Bertrand Bonello
Writer(s): Bonello & Thomas Bidegain
Producer(s): Mandarin Cinéma’s Eric and Nicolas Altmayer
U.S. Distributor: Rights Available
Cast: Gaspard Ulliel

Bonello doing a biopic on a fashion icon with scribe Thomas Bidegain (Jacques Audiard films) and featuring Gaspard Ulliel (random photo above) as YSL, who in his own right has been a fragrance and style icon with his own chiseled facial features. What skeletons will this dig up?

Gist: The film will focus on the period running 1965 to 1976 when Yves Saint Laurent was at the peak of his powers, culminating with the 1976 Russian collection, considered by many as his most influential.

Release Date: Shooting is expect to begin in the spring, so Cannes 2013 is a definite pass which only means that Venice is a little bit more probable but not necessarily feasible either.
