Hard on the heels of a recent series of documentaries on noted fashionistas Halston, Diana Vreeland, Anna Wintour, and Valentino comes the least ambitious of the bunch. More time is devoted to the lives of seamstresses than the celebrated fabric fabricator. What little we do learn about Christian Dior’s schizophrenic self-image is read directly from the pages of his autobiography. Unlike the previous fashion docs Frédéric Tcheng edited and co-directed (Valentino: The Last Emperor and Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel), Dior and I focuses not on a legend, but a new hire (designer Raf Simons, making the leap from ready to wear to haute couture) who has but 8 weeks to put on his first collection for the fabled House of Dior. Like many of the overpriced schmates on display, Tcheng’s film is as stunning to look at as it is difficult to get into. (2015) — Scott Marks
