FILM 1369: IRIS
IRIS pairs the 87-year-old Maysles
with Iris Apfel, the quick-witted, flamboyantly dressed 93-year-old style maven
who has had an outsized presence on the New York fashion scene for decades.
More than a fashion film, the documentary is a story about creativity and how,
even at Iris' advanced age, a soaring free spirit continues to inspire. IRIS
portrays a singular woman whose enthusiasm for fashion, art and people are
life's sustenance and reminds us that dressing, and indeed life, is nothing but
an experiment. Despite the abundance of glamour in her current life, she
continues to embrace the values and work ethic established during a
middle-class Queens upbringing during the Great Depression. I feel lucky to be
working. If you're lucky enough to do something you love, everything else
follows.
