Alexander McQueen, fashion designer extraordinaire, was acknowledged as a genius by pretty much everyone familiar with his work. This documentary tribute presents his all-too-short life (he took his own life at age 40 shortly after the death of his beloved mother) from his modest childhood in London, to his apprenticeships with top tailors, to his incredible success, starting in the 1990s, with the public (with wildly popular exhibitions in his home town and in NYC). Unpretentious would seem an apt word to describe who we see on the screen. You don’t have to know or understand much about fashion (like me) to appreciate McQueen’s talent.
