background

Original idea was a film school for students from the fashion industry to realize the old traditional sartoriale Schneider art live to be. The first provisional version of the film is 10 hours. In the end, a movie of 100 minutes was made to give “non- professionals ” the opportunity to get to know this exclusive, increasingly rare profession .

Film psychology

The film begins and ends with quotes from Albert Camus from The Myth of Sisyphus .

“The fight against summits can fill a human heart. We have to imagine Sisyphus as a happy person. ”(La lutte elle-même vers les sommets suffit à remplir un coeur d'homme. Il faut imaginer Sisyphe heureux).

“After all, after this long effort (measured against a space that knows no sky and a time that knows no depth) the goal is reached.” (Tout au bout de ce long effort mesuré par l'espace sans ciel et le temps sans profondeur, le but est atteint).

("Le mythe de Sisyphe", Albert Camus, Gallimard, 1942)

"An avant-garde documentary that saw the light exactly at Fashion Week; while press attachés cheer their crazy fashion designers on social networks and the hippest people in the world race to the foot of the catwalk. L'architecte textile is a perfect counterpoint; the precise work a watchmaker in the cosmos of the textile architect, who structures and builds the garment with his skillful hands, sublimates the body by drawing clear lines, and for the beauty of the gesture, the tip of the needle meanders through the folds that fly away with the slightest movement ...

A masterpiece of precise precision mechanics ... An absolute must for those who love the art of grand couture . "(Published by Famous Rallye, original language French)

("A Famous Rallye, nous aimons les grands et les bons films, les films d'auteurs et les OCNI. En voici un qui tombe à pic en pleine Fashion Week, alors que se démènent les attachées de presse pour faire mousser leur couturier déjanté sur les réseaux sociaux et que se précipitent au pied du catwalk les blogueuses mode et les people les plus branchés de la planète ... Voici en parfait contrepoint le travail précis d'horloger dans l'espace de l'architecte textile, qui de ses mains habiles, structure et bâtit le vêtement qui va sublimer le corps en dessinant des lignes épurées, et, pour la beauté du geste, faufile de la pointe de l'aiguille des plissés s'envolant au moindre mouvement ... Un petit chef- d'œuvre de micro mécanique de précision. À voir absolument si on aime vraiment l'Art de la Grande Couture ... ")
