Albert Maysles and Iris Apfel in Iris (2014)

Iris Apfel and Carl Apfel in Iris (2014)

IRIS pairs the 87-year-old Maysles with Iris Apfel, the quick-witted, flamboyantly dressed 93-year-old style maven who has had an outsized presence on the New York fashion scene for decades. More than a fashion film, the documentary is a story about creativity and how, even at Iris' advanced age, a soaring free spirit continues to inspire. IRIS portrays a singular woman whose enthusiasm for fashion, art and people are life's sustenance and reminds us that dressing, and indeed life, is nothing but an experiment. Despite the abundance of glamour in her current life, she continues to embrace the values and work ethic established during a middle-class Queens upbringing during the Great Depression. I feel lucky to be working. If you're lucky enough to do something you love, everything else follows. —Anonymous

Girls! Doesn't have to be pretty to be happy.

When I saw IRIS for the first time, the advertisement of Zenni Optical.

She has been so energized and creative. I am already a big fan of her now.

She is so straight up and honest in her life and dedicated to her husband all her life.

Her husband said, "it's not dull marriage. Nobody knows what she does at the end. " It's so cool. And he said that he met her for the first time, he felt fate. "Something about her," he said.

And they don't have kids and never wanted so I felt the same way. I've watched this movie twice already.
