Yves Saint Laurent

Yves Saint Laurent (2014) is a biographical drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Jalil Lespert. Paris, early 1958: a shy 21-year-old assistant is handed the house left behind by Christian Dior, and his debut collection turns him into the talk of the city overnight.

Pierre Niney carries the film from that first triumph through the cracks that follow — anxiety, addiction, a talent forever tugging against self-destruction. Beside him stands Pierre Berge (Guillaume Gallienne), the lover and business partner who kept both the empire and the man upright for three decades. The story tracks their relationship as much as the label, watching a fragile genius and a steady dealmaker build one of the century's defining fashion houses.

Made with Berge's cooperation, the film puts real archive gowns on screen — something its rival biopic, released the same year, couldn't touch. It's for viewers who want the person behind the legend rather than glossy runway spectacle. Niney took home the Cesar for Best Actor for the part. Stream Yves Saint Laurent (2014) online on iFILM.
