Description

In fashion circles, the name John Galliano is fraught with contrasts: one of the highest profile fashion designers, an icon of British culture, and a man whose antisemitic outburst brought it all down.

High & Low: John Galliano is Oscar-winning filmmaker Kevin Macdonald’s gripping examination of one of the most influential people in fashion and cultural history. Following his subject’s career and private life, including his struggles with addiction, Macdonald crafts a fascinating portrait of this extremely complex man.

“[A] a frank portrait of a damaged, evasive man trying to come to terms with what he has done.” –Fionnuala Halligan, Screen International
