Art on Film | Love, Cecil

Lisa Immordino Vreeland’s 2017 documentary Love, Cecil screens in the auditorium of the Sarasota Art Museum. The film traces the prolific career of Cecil Beaton, the Oscar-winning costume designer and photographer whose sharp eye and sharper tongue dominated 20th-century fashion and high society. Through archival footage and excerpts from his diaries, the biography examines Beaton’s relentless drive to capture beauty and his complex relationships with the era's cultural elite.
