Iris Apfel has been having a media moment for the last few years. She’s a 93-year-old fashion icon with a unique, extreme style. This film shows her at several public appearances, interacting with her husband and shopping for more clothes and accessories. Adding to the aging-defying stereotype is the director, legendary documentarian Albert Maysles, who’s 87 himself. There’s a hint of biographical background and a few other people peripherally involved, but the camera focuses primarily on Iris. She’s a wonderfully fascinating personality with an inspiring message of individuality and confidence.
