Great fun! This documentary of the ritzy Manhattan department store has flash, celebrity, and creativity to the max, plus more than a soupçon of gossip and humor. Directed by Matthew Miele (new to me, he has a doc about Tiffany's coming next year) with music composed by Parov Stelar (listen to some videos on his website) it's not just for retailers. The store window sequences are worth the price of admission. And admission may be free, since it's available streaming on netflix right now (I saw it in August but just remembered to add it to the blog). If you don't have a netflix account you can rent it on amazon for $2.99 (free viewing on amazon prime isn't showing up).
Haters on Rotten Tomatoes have it at 49% critics and 41 audiences. I don't know what they saw but it must have been something else. Watch the trailer on the the official website for a taste, check out the whole hour and 34 minutes, and then let me know what you think.
