Mademoiselle C

by Tony Medley

Runtime 90 minutes

OK for children.

Carine Roitfeld was the editor of the Conde Nast magazine French Vogue for 10 years, where she created “porno chic.” She left for greener pastures and this film chronicles her launch of a new magazine CR Fashion Book.

Directed by Fabien Constant, who has previously directed two videos for Carine so he comes to this film with obvious bias although he did not give her final cut, and containing the presence of lots of fashionistas like Karl Lagerfeld, Tom Ford, and Ricardo Tisci, she is shown as a peripatetic presence, with seeming indefatigable energy. But she talks so much during the first hour that it becomes enormously annoying. It is relatively incoherent, hard to follow what’s really going on.
