Becoming Karl Lagerfeld

As many people already said here - it's just a scratch on the surface, that's not about Karl it's about Jacques,...

I agree, it's just a scratch on the surface, but it's not a mistake, it's just a different perspective on Karl's life. Maybe it was different, maybe not, but who knows?

As his Daniel said - He never lost touch with the pulse. A time of revolution, of sexual liberation and then there's that anachronistic lement to it because Karl Lagerfeld very often lived in his ntellectual realm and in his fantasy and with the money that he had earned was capable of creating these cerebral worlds, these fairytale paradises, especially for the love of his life. He bought a castle and everything within the castle had to be perfect down to the candles. To play someone who does that with so much dedication and obsession and precision was fascinating.

I really like the way of acting, Daniel is experienced actor and great choice for Karl. Théodore is same age as me, he exactly knew, what to do and I do not agree with others, his acting may be different, but not childish or boring. Visuals are great, so don't judge a book by it's cover and give it a try.

It is immersive, & beautiful. It is a 6x52 of cinema.

Becoming Karl Lagerfeld is a captivating mini-series that immerses viewers in the world of Karl Lagerfeld, revealing the genius and enigmatic personality behind his iconic creations. The beautifully crafted series features outstanding performances by Daniel Brühl (Karl Lagerfeld), Théodore Pellerin (Jacques de Bascher), and Arnaud Valois (Yves Saint Laurent), among others. The soundtrack, composed by Evgueni and Sacha Galperine, enhances the experience with original scores and iconic songs like "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" by The Rolling Stones and "Heart of Glass" by Blondie. Celebrating creativity, innovation, and an endless quest for perfection, "Becoming Karl Lagerfeld" captures the essence of what made Lagerfeld unique and inspiring.

I wish it was more about Karl and his work instead of the love triangle with the twink gigolo. A LOT of unnecessery scenes. I don't think the late Karl Lagerfeld would've liked the series... He spent his whole life doing everything for his work and the fashion industry and now he is being portraied as a sugar daddy with no feelings...

The acting was good though, Daniel did an amazing job as always. You could tell he studied the character, although Karl was a private person. What I liked most is how real and authentic (most) characters felt. The atmosphere the series created was also great. I wish I saw more fashion and less romantic drama.

I was really looking forward to this series .......... But - to me - it was a bait and switch. It was the story of Jacques de Bascher, not Lagerfeld. And, frankly, I didn't care for Jacques.

This is a very sad story of two men who were brilliant designers, Karl Lagerfeld and Yves Saint Laurent and the man who reeked havoc in both their lives (rather who they let into their lives) - Jacques de Bascher.

Had this been advertised in a different way, it would have been excellent - the actors were all brilliant. But I did not learn a whole lot about Lagerfeld becoming a designer and that was why I watched it. As it was, I came away depressed for what both Lagerfeld and Saint Laurent endured (willingly!) at the hands of a young man who knew his power and abused it with glee.

As in all things, to each his own.

I randomly watched this series with no expectations. I had watched a documentary about Lagerfeld, and found he was an interesting character. Anyway this series is a really easy watch and I found myself binge watching it. I have really enjoyed the era, the scenery and costume design, it's a lot of fun. I think the storyline and the weaving of the character relationships is so intriguing and really well done. I feel it has been done tastefully and with respect. I haven't had something to watch like this in a while, that wasn't too stressful or draining. If you want a watchable programme that will keep you entertained, check it out. It's fun, emotional, and interesting.
