movie: lagerfeld confidential

I watched Lagerfeld Confidential over the weekend. Loved it! What a strange, wonderful, creative man Karl is. He likes to be alone and "detests" people who cannot be alone. He is not attached to objects, but has one of the most enormous libraries I've ever seen. He has a messy office, but knows where every single thing is. He likes his photos to exhibit a touch of melancholy, and when he couldn't find someone to shoot the photographs the way he likes, he started shooting them himself. He puts on a show for his business, he says the secret is to work very hard, but not to let people see the work. A lot of people have passion, he says. But the secret to success is passion plus hard work. And, I might add, determination and discipline. I think a lot of "creative types" would identify with Lagerfeld's philosophy. The film is also a wonderful sneak peek into the world of haute couture. I plan on watching it again (and again).
