“IRIS –The story of clothing collector Iris Apfel. Be yourself. Do your own thing. With her trademark HUGE black, round glasses, Iris works her way through stores, shows, and her own closet. The only child of a Jewish couple from NYC, she studied art history, ran her own textile company, and even did several white-house make-overs. She sure does like big, giant bangles, necklaces! itu0026#39;s amazing she can stand up with all those heavy necklaces that she wears through most of the film. Itu0026#39;s kind of fun watching her toddle along, bartering hardcore with shop-keepers. Iris is TOTALLY photogenic, and loves to talk, so it must have been a pretty easy project to do. Sheu0026#39;s a collector (Hoarder ?) and has had her own exhibits of her collections of clothes and jewelry. Directed by Albert Maysles, who did TONS of documentaries. He passed away March of 2015, and I see they are still editing his latest two works to release at some point. I see there is no u0026quot;written byu0026quot; credit on this one, so Iris must have done most of the gabbing herself. Quite a fun film to watch. Very upbeat. Catch it on netflix. Itu0026#39;s one big long run-on sentence, but itu0026#39;s still fun to watch. Kind of makes one wonder what one has accomplished in oneu0026#39;s own life. Inspiring.”
