ALL THE WILD HORSES at DocHouse (12 JUN 18:30):

MCQUEEN at ArtHouse Crouch End (12 JUN 18:00 & 20:25):

  • Alexander McQueen’s rags-to-riches story is a modern-day fairy tale, laced with the gothic. Mirroring the savage beauty, boldness and vivacity of his design, this documentary is an intimate revelation of his McQueen’s own world, both tortured and inspired, which celebrates a radical and mesmerizing genius of profound influence.
