What is L'amour fou (1986) about?

In 1958, the young French-Algerian couturier Yves Saint Laurent met and fell in love with the industrialist and patron Pierre Bergé, forging a relationship that would endure fifty years of extraordinary success, emotional turbulence and lingering devotion. In 2008, following the death of Saint Laurent, Bergé decided to auction off the art collection that was the result of their decades-spanning union. From art deco vases and African sculptures to singular pieces by Brancusi, the collection that symbolized the couple’s ceaseless devotion to beauty is catalogued, crated and auctioned off by Christie’s in London, while Bergé reflects and ruminates upon a collection that came together by chance and the romance that was love at first sight from the moment the duo met at Christian Dior’s funeral in 1957.
