Pret-A-Porter

I still don't understand why this movie wasn't a big success at the box office. I have watched it several times on Sky Movies and the last time I watched it, I decided I would by the DVD. I will never get tired of it.
Pret A Porter is one of the wittiest films ever. It gives us a very cheeky view into the banal world of Haute Couture and crazyness that surrounds Paris fashion week. The films strength is in being able to praise the talent and extraordinary beauty that the catwalk can reveal, but at the same time poking fun at the people who take it far too seriously - as if their lives depended on fashion.
The film blends an all star cast (from old and new cinema) together with Cameo appearences by real people from the fashion industry (Jean Paul Gaultier, Gianfranco Ferre, Christian Lacroix).
The many stories in this film, entwine and move forward without complication and make the two hours of the film feel like 5 minutes. Every time I watch it, I wish it would carry on and on.
As far as the transfer to DVD is concerned - the picture and sound quality are excellent. The only irritating quirk, is the fact that the widescreen letterbox occupies the entire top three-quarters of the screen and leaves a thick black strip at the bottom (no strip at the top) - I assume this is for the subtitles. Also, it is low on extra features. This is why I give it a 4 rather than 5 star rating.

Very nice movie;Paris highlife in the nineties...Review created: 03/02/09

) The story is funny and the cast is quite impressive.
The most interesting about this movie is the atmosphere of the nineties;
the movie illustrates clearly how fashion but also the 'Zeitgeist' has changed
in the last 15 years.
The softness and stresslesness of this movie are amusing;at the same time You'll realize that it would be impossible to create a 'Pret A Porter' nowadays.

Leigh Haines at the moviesReview created: 01/08/06
) This film ROCKS!!!! (if you are female or a gay guy into fashion)
the acting is very wooden and the script must have been very thin. apart from that i didn't see much wrong with it.
MY WIFE LOVED IT OF COURSE. (she bought it!)
