Christian Louboutin - L’Art de la Patine

Most savoir-faire films portray their artisans as mere craftsmen. Thomas Defert chose a different path by giving Christian Louboutin’s patina master, Enrico, the title he truly deserves: that of an Artist.

The film, dressed in a caravagesque light, explores the alchemical power of patina, where time, gesture and pigment merge to forme magic.
