“High and Low: John Galliano”, interview with director Kevin Macdonald

“I was looking for a way to make a film about what happens when famous people ‘transgress’ and understand how they deal with that experience and how they seek forgiveness from society” says director Kevin Macdonald when talking about the genesis of his new documentary, “High and Low:John Galliano” about the rise and fall of the famous designer.

Presented at the 18th Rome Film Fest, the film is a result of a 6 hour interview that MacDonald did to Galliano about his career and his mistakes, including that one video that kind of ruined his life as he was caught using shocking antisemitic and racist insults.

Featuring conversations with Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Penelope Cruz, Charlize Theron, Anna Wintour, Edward Enninful, Boris Cyrulnik, Hamish Bowles, and Sidney Toledano, among others, the documentary is about “what happens when you do something utterly unacceptable; how do you find forgiveness and redemption? Should you be forgiven?”. Macdonald states that he intended this film to be thought-provoking and nuanced and that the audiences leave questioning and discussing after they leave the theatre.
