Each Monday I try to recommend a film that may have passed you by. This week:
THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE
Directed by R.J. Cutler
A documentary chronicling Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour's preparations for the 2007 fall-fashion issue.
Yes it is dated ...at least the fashion is. Still it is just a fun watch. Even though you may not be into fashion it is just fascinating as you watch this popular issue get put together.
Of course the star is Anna Wintour, whom rumor has it, was the model for the film The Devil Wears Prada. She can shut you down with just a look. It is almost fun to watch.
However!! Her Creative Director Grace Coddington almost steals the documentary. She brings some levity to the situation and some calm into the fire.
Yes, again it is a little dated, still just fascinating.
4 1/2 out of 5 stars for this well done documentary!! While watching ask yourself this interesting question: If Anna Wintour was a man would it be such a big deal if that man acted or already acts like this in the workplace? Move it to the top of your Queue!!!
As always thanks for your time from the shadows.
