Where we can see the new documental
I've been trying to find the release date for online streaming but I'm thinking it hasn't been picked up by a streaming service yet, they're probably waiting on how it performs on its limited release. I tried to be supportive (on your behalf, let's say lol) and watched it last night in a theater that was at maybe.. 15% capacity. It did sell out for the screening featuring a Q&A with the director.
As soon as it goes up online (if it does), I'll go back to my piracy days and figure out how to get this for you, C
holo! 😭.. for the newer members here: CholoChic used to never write regular posts, all he wrote for years were stanzas in every Dior/Galliano thread (!!). They talk a bit about Galliano's influence in the documentary and I was just thinking to myself.. the amount of Dior/Galliano usernames in tFS is no joke! 😅.. there really hasn't been any other designer in the 20+ years this site has been up, that even compares to the level of influence in young people.
No real thoughts on the documentary.. I stopped caring about his work ages ago. It's nice to see his trajectory and that he was indeed as insufferable and obnoxious as I remember him all of the 00s up until the scandal, and also a nice reminder that he was pretty cool in the 80s/first years in Paris. My main take from this is.. how does Robin Givhan get a Pulitzer, and how I need to read up on the criteria for that, there is no way someone so determined to overlook facts about addiction, research, background and context can be so fcking willing to go on record about what someone is or isn't and make wild assumptions on why the industry continues to support him, like when you talk to people are you actually listening to them or just waiting for them to shut up. Great journalism!
I also think it's funny the ratings for this are either 5 stars or 2 stars.. it goes to show he did the ultimate transgression where the most hypocritical people on this planet anchor their phony sense of morality. You cannot reason with these types hence the '
no amount of apologies will redeem him but also: why doesn't he just apologise?!'.. followed by looking at the mirror and thinking '
hmmm I don't think what's happening in Gaza right now is genocide, it's so complicated!'. So glad this came out right now to expose how dumb it all was. Glad he got clean in the process though..
