This documentary is an exceptional glimpse into the world of the Master Tailor - it is moving and inspirational, sad and profound and provides a tremendously respectful look into the art and skill of the world's finest craftsmen. The documentary focuses on three master tailors Nino, Joe and Checchino. They are charismatic, talented and method tailors who have carried this traditional craft into the 20th Century. In the modern world, they battle mass production,a much faster pace of production for even the finer suits. They refuse to give in and show us the beauty of their craft and of the bespoke suit.
The film maker does a brilliant job in making the viewers feel as though we are right there in the room, we are a part of the craft, watching, engaging and understanding the role the tailor plays in keeping alive an art appreciated by fewer and fewer customers. The film allows the viewers to truly appreciate the art and provides them with a brilliant hope in that the art will live on in a new generation.
