This documentary is so much more than stories about the disappearing art of tailoring. It speaks to a new generation - sharing tales of an era of soulful passion, meticulous skill, lifeblood, respect, allegiance, and honoring the beauty of the human hand. Three tailors and an apprentice convey their experiences not only regarding expertise, but also share the wisdom garnered through dedicating one's soul to craft. It's beautifully filmed, comprehensive in scope, and extraordinarily heartfelt. Warning- Tissues needed for the diploma scene.
There are also fun facts, (who knew there was a Saint of Tailoring- could have used him in high school!), practical information on the creation process, and fit sessions which demonstrate the importance of measurement and understanding the nuances of the human body.
You really don't have to be someone who tailors or even sews to thoroughly enjoy this wonderful film. Major kudos to the filmmaker and her exceptional abilities to tell this beautiful story.
