Pierre and Gilles, Love Stories (1997)

Since 1976, Pierre and Gillis have been a team: artists who work together (Pierre takes photographs, and Gillis paints on those images), lovers, trend setters. Laced with comments by friends (Catherine Deneuve, Jean-Paul Gaultier, and Thierry Mugler) and by their models (young, edgy, and good looking), the documentary follows P&G to openings in London, Germany, and a major retrospective of their work in Paris. We party with P&G, visit their wildly decorated flat, and watch them work. Two series, "Bad Boys" and "Enchanted Forest," are highlighted. Homoerotic glitter merges with lurid religious imagery to capture paradox and eternal youth.
