Doc. IRIS-Don't Miss It-Accessorizie to Inifinity & Beyond

The delightful doc. film on fashion maven, Iris Apfel, known for her extensive collection of costume jewelry, is a treasure grove of baubles, bangles & bright shiny things.  NYC's own, Iris Apfel, now 80 something, is something else.  She's got style, she's got pizazz, she's got more clothes, furniture & bric-a-brac to flood an enormous landfill.  It's not the quantity (which borders as hoarders) but the quality that is most astounding.  Her tastes run the gammet from the exotic haute couture, to tawdry manure.  But this dame doesn't abide by rules and comes out looking smashing.  Iris' philosophy:  improvise, have fun and do what feels right.  She laments on the homogenized & uniformed look of most people.  The film was directed by Albert Maysles & is being released posthumously.  Maysles was awarded the Nat'l Medal of Arts by Pres. Obama in 2013.  The camera follows Iris as she goes shopping, styling, socializing & proffering her wisdom.  Her beloved husband, Carl celebrates his 100th on screen. He is never far from her side.  The charm of their enduring affection for one another almost overshadows Iris' lauded artistic style.  Her style is extolled by famous curators, photographers and fellow fashion icons.  But nobody puts this baby in a corner (it would be hard to find space in her place.)  There is nothing like a dame, especially one who is as bold, glamourous and winning as Iris Apfel.  Of all the fantabulous accessories Iris possesses, her winning smile is the most dazzling.  See this agreeable, meandering documentary that applauds individuality, creativity, humor & love.
