Love, Cecil (2017)

Capsule Summary (minimal spoilers):

Love, Cecil is a documentary from Lisa Immordino Vreeland  of the life and times of Cecil Beaton, a reknowned photographer and Oscar-winning costume designer, for My Fair Lady and Gigi. This is a tale of his life, using portions of his diaries, collections of his photography, and art. There are celebrity interviews as well, including a fashion designer or two. He was somewhat of a misanthrope at times, but what person is without their flaws?

It’s narrated by Rupert Everett, who sounds remarkably like him compared to the interviews they used. It’s an engaging story.

I do recommend it.
