This is a wonderful documentary that celebrates the work and lives of a dying breed of artists - tailors. Vasilopoulos has created a moving portrait of these men that pulls you into their lives, dreams and work. The real art of tailors has been forgotten or not even known by so many now - with off the rack clothing and alterations quickly done at the dry cleaners. It was a pleasure to follow the tailors, many to their roots in Italy to the US and see how they made a place for themselves here. There's also a interesting section in Italy that explores a hybrid of tailoring skill and assembly line construction - something that was new to me. You can tell that Vasilopoulos really appreciates the work of these tailors and honors them in this beautiful film.
