Inspiring New Documentary
Last fall I saw the first screening of this very engaging documentary about a charismatic and brilliant architect named Eugene Tssui. His design visions are most unusual (which are primarily based on his observations in nature) and quiet extreme. I found myself drawn in by his determination, high energy, and courage to make his designs a living reality (that are more often blocked than approved by committees which are used to more traditional styles of architecture). See what you think?

New YSL Movie Review
I am sorry to say that I was very disappointed with the recently released movie about Yves Saint Laurent (YSL). I felt it focused too much on what went wrong in his life, as opposed to all that went right! Sometimes out of the bad news comes good; this negative experience suddenly reminded me of a 2 disc DVD documentary about him that I purchased in 2008. It was at the De Young Museum when they had a fantastic exhibition of his clothing. If you want to know more about Yves Saint Laurent, either about the man himself or about how he worked, this documentary includes both. By using rare footage of him being interviewed and designing, it is a valuable peek into the life and work of one of the most influential designers in the history of fashion.
