Visionary fashion designer Pierre Cardin died Tuesday at age 98. After a career that spanned more than 70 years and began with costume design on Jean Cocteau’s 1946 Beauty and the Beast, the Italy-born, naturalized Frenchman passed away at the American Hospital outside Paris.
Cardin’s family called this “a day of great sadness” and noted, “across a century, the great couturier that he was left France and the world an artistic heritage unique to fashion, but not only that.”
Cardin was a savvy businessman who became the first fashion designer to mass produce haute couture while also successfully licensing his brand and owning the Maxim’s chain of restaurants along with his own fashion house.
Born to French parents on July 2, 1922, near Venice, Cardin moved to France at the age of 2. He first worked as an accountant, then did uncredited work on Beauty and the Beast before taking an apprenticeship with Christian Dior.

Why does the fashion workroom provide such rich fodder for cinematic storytellers? “Fashion touches everyone, but we still look at an atelier as a place that’s both glamorous and a bit mysterious. It’s really fun to pull back that curtain,” says P. David Ebersole, who, with Todd Hughes, co-directed House of Cardin. It chronicles the life of Italian designer Pierre Cardin, now 98, known for dressing everyone from The Beatles to Dionne Warwick and for his pioneering push to license his name.

‘Babyteeth.’
Universal Pictures’ dramedy The King of Staten Island continued its reign at Australian cinemas last weekend as ticket sales slumped, starved of new releases.
Given the depressed state of the market, Shannon Murphy’s Babyteeth, the bittersweet comedy adapted by Rita Kalnejais from her play, launched reasonably well on 46 screens, making $65,000.
The Universal release starring Eliza Scanlen, Toby Wallace, Ben Mendelsohn and Essie Davis registered the second highest per-screen average – $1,419 – among the top 10 titles, behind the market leader’s $1,766.
With 33 per cent of the nation’s cinemas closed and most that are still operating charging half price, the top 20 titles generated a mere $1.7 million, down 27 per cent on the previous frame, according to Numero.
The weekend takings were down 90 per cent on the same weekend last year, when The Lion King, Spider-Man: Far From Home, André Rieu’s Maastricht Concert and Toy Story 4 were raking in millions.

Layering archive footage and soundbites with the kind of quickfire verve suited to a catwalk backdrop, the introductory montage to “House of Cardin” presents us with a number of words to describe Pierre Cardin: “Genius” is the overriding one, uttered by multiple luminaries in his thrall, with other flattering variations rounding it out. Buried in the mix, however, with no identified source, is a somewhat contrasting statement: “a little bit of a sellout.” It portends a note of critical balance in Todd Hughes and P. David Ebersole’s documentary portrait of the Paris couturier turned global one-man brand, though the ensuing film — bright and glitzily entertaining as it is — never quite bears out that promise. Lively as an overview of Cardin’s creative and commercial achievements, “House of Cardin” is considerably vaguer when it comes to his personal life and legacy.

It’s been a decade since R.J. Cutler’s “The September Issue” and Matt Tyrnauer’s “Valentino: The Last Emperor” proved fashion documentaries could be big moneymakers at the box office. The years following brought the release of many glamorous entries into the genre, including “Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel,” “Bill Cunningham New York,” “The Gospel According to Andre,” and “McQueen.” Hoping to make a similar splash is “House of Cardin,” an authorized documentary about the legendary Italian-born French designer, Pierre Cardin. IndieWire is premiering this exclusive first-look trailer ahead of the film’s New York debut at Doc NYC.
Known for his geometric shapes and avant-garde styles, Cardin has amassed many celebrity fans over the years, many of whom appear in the film wearing their favorite of his designs. They include Naomi Campbell, Sharon Stone, Jenny Shimizu, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Alice Cooper, and even Dionne Warwick, among others.

The best documentaries about haute-couture icons, like Valentino: The Last Emperor or last year’s McQueen, combine breathtaking footage of the portrayed designer’s work with a keen sense of who they were as an individual and how they changed their industry. On those terms, House of Cardin, from U.S. directorial duo P. David Ebersole and Todd Hughes (Mansfield 66/67), is a success. It premiered in the independent Giornate degli Autori section of the recent Venice fest and should see interest from festivals, broadcasters and VOD platforms.

Iconic Hollywood starlet Jayne Mansfield packed a fair amount of living in her relatively short life. A brief A-lister while under contract at 20th Century Fox, she was a sex symbol in the Monroe mould, married three times and was known for the ‘wardrobe malfunction’ decades before the puritanical outrage that greeted Janet Jackson’s slip at the Super Bowl. She met her untimely end in a horrendous car pile-up, but not before flirting with the then burgeoning interest in Satanism within the Hollywood hipster set. She was seemingly the queen of the column inch during most of her career, but P. David Ebersole and Todd Hughes’ film attempts to shed some light on the salacious gossip and reach beyond the blond bombshell persona.

A bright and bouncy primer on the short, chaotic life of ill-fated sex-bomb Jayne Mansfield, P David Ebersole and Todd Hughes' Mansfield 66/67 seeks to channel the effervescent fizz of its subject with entertaining but haphazard results. Featuring predictably incisive contributions from John Waters, Mary Woronov, Kenneth Anger (who famously stuck Mansfield on the cover of his best-selling gossip-tome Holllywood Babylon) among a slew of talking heads, the UK/Us co-production is a natural for camp-friendly festivals and certainly won't be diminished by small-screen exposure.
It's the first feature to be co-directed by marrieds Ebersole and Hughes, who co-wrote 2011's well-received Hit So Hard, profiling Hole drummer...

Jayne Mansfield was an American actress, singer and entertainer who was one of Hollywood’s biggest sex symbols of the ‘50s and ‘60s. She was known for her hunger for publicity, her questionable affair with Anton Lavey, head of the Church of Satan, and her fatal car crash in 1967.
Now 50 years after her legendary accident, filmmakers P. David Ebersole and Todd Hughes have created “Mansfield 66/67,” a documentary about the last two years of Mansfield’s life and the speculation that her untimely death was caused by her alleged affair with Lavey and a curse that was placed on her.
The film is based on rumor and hearsay and asks the questions: “Was her life spinning out of control in the last two years of her life, or…did the devil make her do it?”

Long considered one of the greatest shows ever to grace television, David Lynch's Twin Peaks is often approached and understood in a sort of bubble, a vacuum. Which is appropriate, on a certain level, given that it was totally unlike anything that had ever come before and exists without obvious, conventional frames of reference but it overlooks the impact that the show had on the actual, flesh and blood people who found this dark, strange, wonderful world deeply personal. People such as Travis Blue, an outcast growing up in the actual town where Twin Peaks was shot. Northwest Passage is a unique, visually-stunning documentary from director Adam Baran (Jackpot), executive producers P. David Ebersole & Todd Hughes (Room 237, Hit So Hard) and executive producer...

"Hit So Hard: The Life and Near Death Story of Patty Schemel," P. David Ebersole's documentary about the life of Patty Schemel, the drummer of Courtney Love's seminal rock band Hole, opens in New York today after playing at festivals worldwide, including SXSW and Sheffield Doc/Fest. The film expands to Los Angeles on April 20. To mark the occasion, Indiewire asked Ebersole and producing partner Todd Hughes to share with us their top ten music documentaries of all time. Check out their picks below: "The Decline of Western Civilization" (1981 Dir: Penelope Spheris) The ultimate Diy punk rock documentary. From the stark black-and-white interviews with teenage punkers against a bare light bulb to the gritty and hilarious “at home” interviews with superstars of the then exploding Los Angeles music scene (like Exene of X and Darby Crash of The Germs), Penelope Spheris’ effortless filmmaking wove together a vivid portrait.

Nothing personal about Schemel, but she is not the first person who comes to mind when I think of Hole. Knowing absolutely nothing about Schemel, I figured that it would not hurt anything for me to give Hit So Hard a chance. Full Disclosure: I am not a fan of Hole (I am more of an early Nirvana -- Bleach and Nevermind -- man myself), so I am probably coming...

A veteran director and producer of cable television (Wicked Wicked Games, Desire), P. David Ebersole’s rock doc Hit So Hard is a typical booze-and-drug-filled profile of his friend and collaborator Patty Schemel, the original drummer for the seminal grunge band Hole, who fell on hard times after the always controversial rock band’s heyday.
Filmmaker: How did you first conceive of Hit So Hard?
Ebersole: My friend Patty Schemel brought me a gold box, filled with 40-plus hours of never-before-seen video footage from when she was on tour with her band Hole. She shot the tape on Hi-8 and was afraid it would disintegrate soon, so she came asking for advice about how to best preserve it. Soon, the two of us were transferring the tapes and watching the footage together. Patty, a great raconteur,...
