Movie Night

The Return of Vidal Sassoon

About a year ago, the Crosby Street Hotel launched a Sunday night film club. The idea was simple: host quality entertainment for guests and visitors and supplement it with quality food from the bar upstairs: dinner-and-a-movie gone chic. Perhaps one reason for the program’s success is that they have a knack for choosing just the kind of film you’d like to see on a Sunday night — An Education, I Am Love and Somewhere are among recent examples. Recently they showed Vidal Sassoon: The Movie, a documentary about arguably the world’s most famous hairdresser, from his early days in an orphanage to the forging of a global brand. Between L’Amor Fou and Bill Cunningham, the film world seems to have gone fashion crazy, but this too is a touching tribute — and given the location, one not to be missed.
