Overview

His outfits have been the talk of the fashion world for decades. Now, you can get a glimpse of his work on the silver screen. Programmed as part of The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier at the National Gallery of Victoria, this free, six-hour film marathon reveals the designer at his most playful and outlandish.

The day begins with a bang, with Pedro Almadovar's flamboyant, sexually explicit comedy Kika, about an aspiring actress turned beautician caught up in a sordid tabloid scandal. Next comes The City of Lost Children, a dark sci-fi fantasy from Amelie director Jean-Pierre Jeunet. The marathon wraps up with Luc Besson's futuristic action flick The Fifth Element, starring Bruce Willis as the best dressed cab driver in the galaxy.

Get your orange wigs at the ready, this is one trip to the movies that's impossible to overdress for.
