Tribeca Film Festival: Yellow is Forbidden (Review)

by James Bianca April 30, 2018

written by James Bianca 1 minutes read

Director: Pietra Brettkelly

Screenwriter: Pietra Brettkelly

Cast: Guo Pei, Philip Treacy, Wendi Murdoch, Godfrey Deeny

Guo Pei has been designing in China for more than three decades, but the western audience may only know her as the woman who created the stunning garment Rihanna wore when she owned the 2015 China: Through the Looking Glass Met Gala red carpet. In Yellow is Forbidden, Pietra Brettkelly follows the designer after that time as she moves through every detail to become an invited member of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture – a society so exclusive only twenty-one members currently exist today. In this documentary, Brettkelly intended to tell the story of loss through the decline of haute couture, but the more powerful storyline that is quietly unearthed is the duality that exists within the designer’s world.

written by Chelsea Young 1 minutes read

The Tribeca Film Festival has begun and this year John Legend and Sara Bareilles made an appearance in “Tribeca Talks: Storytellers” where Sara interviewed/discussed with John about his life and career. Starting off Sara asked John about how music came into his life as a child. John started learning to play the piano when he was five and was actively involved in music at church. It wasn’t till he was older that he began to listen to genres other than Gospel and Contemporary Christian music because that was all that was played in his house. His parents divorced when he was young and from there he was able to rebel a bit and start listening to other genres.
