關於這部電影

Legendary makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin arrived in New York City from the small town of Lafayette, Louisiana after spending his childhood expressing himself through drawing, painting, and makeup application. In search of relief from the confusion and isolation stemming from his sexual identity and constant bullying, Kevyn found an acceptance in the fashion world that was instant and explosive. Due to his groundbreaking contouring techniques, his infectious personality and mission to make everyone feel beautiful, he quickly shot to fame doing makeup for every supermodel and celebrity throughout the 80's and 90's. At the height of his fame in 2002, Kevyn died mysteriously. LARGER THAN LIFE explores every corner of Kevyn's rich, beautiful and complicated life through the story of his untimely passing and the inspiring legacy he left behind.

評分和評論

Kevyn rises himself up purely by talent, without too much formal education. Amazing personal development story. People around him are too naive to relieve his pain and illness, when he really needed his old friend's support. A legendary personale just disappeared suddenly. On the other hand, Kevyn may be too big (a guru) for other regular people to take care of.

Wow! This documentary is so touching! It really makes you feel like you get to know Kevyn and live his past. I recommend it to everyone - even people not in the industry.

Well done! Fascinating and intimate view of a make up icon⭐️
