The photographer Guy Bourdin pushed seventies fashion images to the limit, capturing the vivid, glossy and sexy looks of the time. He worked almost exclusively for French Vogue, where his dazzling colour images were a foil to Helmut Newton 's black-and-white erotica. But while Bourdin remains a cult hero in the fashion world, his name is little known elsewhere. This documentary examines his photographs and explores the darker side of his work. Featuring interviews with colleagues, including photographers Helmut Newton and Jean Baptiste Mondino, and model Jerry Hall.
