The film brilliantly casts a wide view, opening a window into the personal life, career, and genius of Alexander McQueen. It utilizes plenty of old footage that includes archives of his transcendent collections and runway shows and older interviews with Mcqueen himself, as well as with his friends and colleagues. There are also behind-the-scenes glimpses at his creative process, including never-before-seen workroom footage and moments of leisure.
There's also a considerable amount of new content. The filmmakers have conducted new interviews with collaborators and loved ones, including Mira Chai Hyde, Sebastian Pons, Gary James McQueen, Janet McQueen, and more. They've also interspersed the footage with dazzling, haunting, three-dimensional models of skulls that are meant to capture the moments in McQueen's life they are aiming to depict.
