Love, Cecil
Documentary filmmaker Lisa Immordino Vreeland (Peggy Guggenheim: Art Addict) returns with this vibrant documentary about the life of Cecil Beaton, a towering creative icon of the 20th century, best known for his production design on Gigi and My Fair Lady.
Ends Thursday!
British-born Cecil Beaton was perhaps best known for his production design on Oscar-winning films like Gigi and My Fair Lady, but his talents extended far beyond cinema. From Beaton’s World War II photography work for Vogue to his relationship with the Royal Family and his alleged affair with Greta Garbo, director Lisa Immordino Vreeland (Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel, Peggy Guggenheim: Art Addict) uses previously unseen footage and stills—with excerpts from Beaton’s diary, narrated by Rupert Everett—to illuminate her creative subject’s ambition and inimitable sense of reinvention. A Zeitgeist Films Release in Association with Kino Lorber.
A magical experience.
