There’s a better, more complex movie to be made on the life and times of Anna Wintour than this – but then I’m guessing the makers only got the access they did on the understanding this would be a more sympathetic depiction of her in the wake of The Devil Wears Prada. Still, it’s pretty interesting, as we cover Wintour putting together the September issue for that year. There’s lots of designers and models and fashion people, none of whom I recognised, many of whom you can sense fear from when dealing with the editor. Most of the drama comes from Wintour’s clashing with her long-time colleague, Grace (who, like her boss, was really hot when she was younger; Wintour also has a very good looking daughter). There’s also this editor at large at Vogue, a camp big black dude who reminded me of a similar character in Mannequin. The DVD has all these deleted scenes which add up to a whole other film.
