The September Issue (DVD)

The September Issue (2008). Directed by R.J. Cutler. Documentary follows Vogue editor Anna Wintour and creative director Grace Coddington as they work on the annual September issue -- a really big deal in the fashion world. As I have no interest in fashion as such, I had to wonder what I had gotten myself into. Could a movie like this engage my interest? The answer is -- just barely. Every once in a while there is something to grab your interest -- a photo shoot, perhaps, or a visit to Paris. But overall my feeling was, Who cares? It's a fashion magazine being made. Whoop-de-do. I give the movie credit for having good subtitles, however. Grade: C
