Filmmaker Andrew Rossi tried valiantly to cover two

Filmmaker Andrew Rossi tried valiantly to cover two films’ worth of content in one documentary. Much of the ninety minutes follows the creation of the massive 2016 Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibition “China: Through the Looking Glass”. The first Monday in May, however, is the annual date of the Met Gala. Every gala spotlights a Costume Institute exhibit, and raises an impossible amount of money for the institute budget. Rossi could have zeroed in on the preparations for the gala, a coffee-fueled marathon duet between the museum and Vogue Magazine. What he did include both taught and entertained. Perhaps Rossi could be persuaded to explore both the artistic substance and the social choreography of the Gala itself in a follow-up film. I hope.

Kinda funny how all the important people involved

Kinda funny how all the important people involved in this extravaganza took such a long time and spent so much money to produce a record earning show on such a grand scale, and how all the curators and powerful political people from China saying (repeatedly) that they didn't want to cheapen the meaningful history of their historical artifacts with fashion. Then, Rhianna sings "Bitch Better Have My Money." lol If you were going to perform at an exclusive show like this one, why wouldn't you sing something nice?

The documentary itself was well made but I

The documentary itself was well made but I got so annoyed at the participants! They started by saying that fashion is an art form, then proceeded to make shallow, ignorant judgements regarding how to portray Chinese culture. In so doing they proved why none of these people (with the exception of the fashion designers and the film directors) know anything about real art. The director of the costume department was a complete idiot. If Wong Kar-Wai tells you that putting the Chairman Mao coat in a room full of Buddha statues is insulting to Buddhists, don't argue with him, just accept it and move on. They got told that the exhibition was cultural appropriation by a number of museum staff and Chinese art experts but they carried on regardless because they didn't really care about anything except their own little shallow fashion world.
