  • Summary: Carine Roitfeld ran French Vogue for 10 years, building a reputation as one of fashion’s most influential movers. Yet few people outside the fashion world have heard of her until now. Mademoiselle C chronicles Carine’s launch of her new magazine CR Fashion Book. It gives a rare inside glimpsimpse at the inner workings not only of Roitfeld’s professional world but also her personal life. It is a film about transition, letting the audience watch as Carine moves to New York, starts a new business, and prepares to become a grandmother. And of course, its filled the the models, celebrities, and eccentric personalities that make the fashion world so entertaining. [Cohen Media Group]… Expand

    All the artistry and absurdity, glamour and the grit of the fashion industry are on display in the documentary Mademoiselle C.

    It's to Carine Roitfeld's own credit and director Fabien Constant's funky and frenetic pacing that the doc feels neither like a corporate hagiography nor like mere fashionista masturbation material.

    Mademoiselle C, however, shows the reclusive style guru as the antithesis to the infamous fashion queen, and Roitfeld comes across as quite goofy and actually relatable.

    The filmmaking has some of the wit and irreverence of its subject, but goes on meandering tangents rather than having a cohesive vision or tone.

    As a distinctly not-insider, though, I would have benefited more from a broader portrait of the woman herself, and how she became such a legend.

    There are just so many ways Carine Roitfeld can say she loves fashion in Mademoiselle C, a somewhat interesting documentary that brings us into the inner workings of a magazine, but harps a bit too much on her ideas of fashion and style.

    It’s an air-kiss of a movie, one that places a non-contact peck on either side of its subject’s mouth, then breezes off before a serious conversation can begin.
