in chronological terms, the film begins in 1957, with saint laurent at his family homestead in oran, algeria, shortly before he is named the youngest head designer in the history of the venerable house of dior. even at the outset of his career, he’s as arrogant as he is emotionally frail, and his special - snowflake sensitivity intensifies as the narrative races through some crucial events of his early years: his somewhat low - chemistry introduction to berge; his mental breakdown after dodging the draft for the algerian war; his dismissal from dior and the ensuing legal battle that eventually provided him and berge with the funds to set up an independent fashion empire .

director adolfo kolmerer and dop konstantin freyer look back on numerous cooperations in advertisements and image films. with “snowflake” they are now tackling their first feature film – a genre mix of action, thriller and black comedy set in the near future. the story evolves around two outlaws, tan and javid, who are tracking down the man who killed their families. their hunt is going off - track when one day they find the screenplay to the very movie they are in. multiple exceptional characters try to survive a vicious circle of revenge and karma, challenging their own personal sense of vengeance. all this is set in a hard - boiled exaggerated world, which at second glance may not be too far out .

this film began as a traditionally animated project, only to be changed to cgi under the reign of michael eisner, disney' s chief executive from 1984 to 2005. the film' s title tangled was chosen to be deliberately gender - neutral, as disney' s marketing department felt that one of the reasons that the princess and the frog (2009) had not been as profitable as had been hoped was because it had the word' princess' in the title .

neither does the film offer much insight into the man’s extraordinary artistry: madeline fontaine’s costumes may be eminently covetable, but they alone speak for saint laurent’s rigorous design principles, revolutionary sense of gender identity and real - world influence. early on, lespert’s film shows the precocious designer dazzling his employer, christian dior, by reshaping a little black dress with a white sash belt, but barring the odd sketchbook montage, that’s about as much as we actually see of him in creative mode; his floaty marrakech cocaine binges occupy considerably more screen time. “death must resemble this — a lack of inspiration, ” our perma - lugubrious hero moans at one point — it’s one of the film’s less self - aware moments .

a man and woman fall in love, but then she inhales a snowflake and starts to die. as much as i loved eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, i obviously hated the green hornet and didn' t much care for the science of sleep. so i guess you could say that director michel gondry' s particular brand of quirk is hit and miss but mostly miss for me. the special effects - laden morning routines of the protagonist and the goofy will - they - won' t - they - but - you - really - know - they - will - because - plot courtship doesn' t do anything to charm, and when the second act death march starts, the quirk takes a turn to the maudlin. when the film ends, there' s not much to say about it besides
well... shit ,
and i didn' t know whether i was describing the events or the film. overall... well... shit .
