Hulu’s ‘Becoming Karl Lagerfeld’ Is a Strictly Surface-Level Portrait of a Fashion Icon: TV Review
The Hulu miniseries 'Becoming Karl Lagerfeld' stars Daniel Brühl in a surface-level portrait of the fashion icon.
But the French Canadian Pellerin, who starred opposite Kirsten Dunst in “On Becoming a God in Central Florida,” has rightly earned a reputation as one of our most exciting young actors, and it’s thrilling to see him stretch his wings across the pond. The designer’s lifelong issues with body image and binge eating are alluded to — there’s a fabulous shot of Brühl in a ruffle shirt and printed pajama set chomping down on a chocolate bar — but never explored in-depth. It’s hard to resent a journey into the gay Parisian nightlife of yesteryear from directors Jérôme Salle and Audrey Estrougo, nor a recreation of the wedding of Paloma Picasso (Jeanne Damas), the artist’s daughter and “It” girl associate of both Lagerfeld and Saint Laurent.
