High & Low: John Galliano

Summary

The creative director of Givenchy and Dior in the 90s, John Galliano loomed large over the fashion industry until his fall from grace in 2011, when a video of him using anti-Semitic slurs emerged. This documentary records the career of the controversial designer, his rise, fall and redemption. Macdonald’s film is riveting and empathetic in its attempts to understand social rehabilitation and forgiveness.
