Vidal Sassoon Movie Review 2011
NEW YORK — Virtually comically overconvinced of the relevance of its issue — one particular of its 1st sound bites suggests “it is impossible to overestimate his importance” later interviewees describe his “epic level” creativity and examine his “war” in opposition to stodgy hairstyling trends to World War II — “Vidal Sassoon: The Movie” is nevertheless entertaining and comprehensive in its account of the man’s profession.
In the opening montage of Vidal Sassoon: The Film, the famed hairdresser is in contrast to Muhammad Ali, Albert Einstein, and Jesus. That’s a bit much to set on him, a lot much less to dwell up to. Thankfully, the relaxation of the movie will take a much much less solemn tactic (however with about that diploma of reverence)–it really is a brilliant, cheery pop confection, the entertaining tale of “how a single man altered the globe with a pair of scissors.”
