The September Issue I'll watch a documentary on anything... and this is proof!
This film follows the creation of the largest magazine ever published... the September issue of
Vogue. I've never, ever been into fashion (anyone here who's seen pictures of me can verify that!
), but after being handcuffed and forced to watch
The Devil Wears Prada, I at least had newfound respect for it. The documentary is worth watching for Anna Wintour's (Editor of
Vogue) opening dialogue alone. She says some surprisingly spot-on and sobering things just within the first 3 minutes. Between those two films, I at least finally get why fashion is important, and how it affects absolutely everybody who buys clothing, period. It's also very interesting seeing all the faces of who are responsible for fashion... actually seems to be a pretty small group of people, and a good deal don't look how I'd expected them to (for instance, there are a lot of older people in the fashion world, a lot who don't dress fashionably themselves, etc). If you are me and just like documentaries, period, you'll enjoy this one... it's done exceedingly well, is very well paced, it's revealing, educating, and fun.
