Daniel Brühl as Karl Lagerfeld on the poster for Becoming Karl Lagerfeld
The Big Picture When an icon dies, you can almost hear the frantic keyboard strokes of screenwriters everywhere attempting to pen the next great biographical drama about their larger-than-life existences. After Karl Lagerfeld, the renowned German fashion designer, died in 2019, it seemed inevitable that his life would be torn apart at the seams and fashioned into an overwrought dramatization for mass consumption, and yet that isn’t what happened here.
What Is 'Becoming Karl Lagerfeld' About? Close Brühl has made a career out of starring in biographical dramas like Rush and Race for Glory: Audi vs. Lancia, and in roles inspired by real-life historical figures like All Quiet on the Western Front and The King’s Man, but Karl Lagerfeld is a role set apart from the rest.
In life, Lagerfeld was very private about his relationships with men and quite contradictory — going so far as to oppose gay marriage, despite being in decades-spanning relationships with men . While the series takes certain liberties with its portrayal of Karl and Jacques’ relationship, it does stay true to Karl’s insistence that their romance was never consummated.
