Wim Wenders: So, their mission was completed. The show in Paris went well. Immediately afterwards the whole team had returned to the studio to watch the tape of the show together. This evening they would all go out and celebrate together. And tomorrow they would all fly back to Tokyo together, to begin work the next day on the new collection.

Although this film starts off with a profoundly interesting voice-over about the nature of inspiration, art, and creativity. The film quickly mires in its own self importance and becomes tiresome. Yohji Yamamoto becomes increasingly incoherent both figuratively, with rambling thoughts about fashion, creativity, and gender, and literally, as his thick accent becomes incomprehensible due to the poor sound quality.

Worst of all is Wim's monotone voice-overs that become less interesting as the movie progresses. By the end of the hour it becomes difficult to keep your ears and eyelids open. This could have been a fascinating documentary but it's not.
