The Inside Story Of The Must-See McQueen Documentary.

ANN RAY

Film-makers Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui open up about how they created the most compelling, moving McQueen tribute to date.

The documentary medium was born for telling the story of Alexander McQueen. After all, who better to play this most outrageous, wild and sensitive of designers than the man himself?

It’s certainly the view of that film-makers Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui have taken in creating their moving documentary, McQueen, which focuses on the man behind the darkness, romance and beauty.

“If the subject matter is so amazing and you have visuals, visual support and stories to tell, then I think a documentary is better than a biopic because there’s no one better than the real people to tell the story,” Bonhôte told us. “Audiences don’t care if it has slick imagery; they care about the emotion of that visual or footage, whether it shows them something they didn’t know.”
