The fashion director turned auteur explained the thinking behind the most attention-grabbing sequences in his new film, at its gala screening in Venice

Fashion designer turned film-maker Tom Ford asserted his credentials as an auteur at the Venice film festival, as his second feature film (after 2009’s A Single Man) received its world premiere. Speaking at a press conference before the gala screening, Ford said: “Style always has to serve substance. Believe it or not, I am not just about style, especially in film-making. It has to be part of the storytelling ... Stylistically, I never made a decision that didn’t relate to the story.”

“When you start any project,” he continued, “you have to think: what am I trying to communicate? For me, this story is about finding the people in your life that mean something to you, and holding on to them.”
