, the new documentary directed by Lisa Immordino Vreeland, is like getting to peer inside the legendary makeup artist’s brain. Though it does lend insights into Nars’s childhood and early life—like summers in Biarritz with his mother, Claudette—and the launch of his namesake brand, the film is more so a love letter to the films, images, and people that have inspired his art throughout his life.
It was actually not my idea. Because I hate talking about myself. So, it really came from the team at Nars—they thought it was going to be great to have some kind of, like, story about my life and about whatever. They gave me full freedom of how I want the documentary to be. When I heard that Lisa Vreeland was going to be the one doing it, it made me really excited. I was very happy to do this with her. We understood each other very well. She has that, you know, great culture.
You’re so obsessed with cinema, and much of the documentary touches on that. How did it feel to turn the camera and narrative on yourself? Oh, that’s an interesting question. I really talked so much about my youth in the movie, and about all the movies that really made a strong impression growing up, and of course, all along my life. I still watch a lot of movies. A recent movie—there was one movie that I saw the other day that I really, really thought was great. It’s called. It’s a Russian movie, but the visual of the movie is very interesting. It was on some channel, I think it was on HBO or something.
