Terrific documentary that offers a glimpse into the life of Anna “Nuclear” Wintour, the legendary editor of Vogue magazine, as she and her staff tirelessly prepare to release the all-important September issue. Wintour proudly proclaims that this, the 2007 tome, will be the biggest one yet, which is critical: If you’re a designer, Wintour can bury you.
Minions frantically gather couture, schedule photo-shoots, and edit their copy down to the Nth punctuation, all in the hope of pleasing Wintour, who presides over these activities with the watchful eye of a jury. There isn’t anything she doesn’t touch, and very little she misses, as when she proclaims a glorious 1920′s set as “too much” and swiftly banishes the photograph to the netherworld, never to be seen again.
