HIGH & LOW - JOHN GALLIANO is the gripping and thought-provoking new
documentary from Academy Award® winner Kevin Macdonald, charting the
rise-and-fall story of fashion designer John Galliano. Galliano was
widely recognized as one of the most successful names in 1990s and 2000s
couture, until his career abruptly ended when he was caught on camera
in 2011 hurling antisemitic and racist insults at bystanders in Paris.
Macdonald's compelling documentary traces Galliano's working and private
life through the decades, candidly investigating his struggles with
addiction and the industry pressure he faced along the way. Featuring
conversations with Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Penelope Cruz, Charlize
Theron, Anna Wintour, Edward Enninful and more.
A rich trove of archive footage captures the bottled lightning thrill of
Galliano’s showmanship, both in the designs and shows for his own label
and those for Dior. - Wendy Ide, Observer (UK)
