Knight at the Movies: Vidal Sassoon: The Movie; Certified Copy; film notes

In the early 1960s a young British hairdresser named Vidal Sassoon revolutionized the industry with his break through haircut—the architecturally inspired, geometric "Five Point" that paved the way for London's "Youthquake" movement that was just around the corner. Pairing up with mini-skirt designer Mary Quant, the two spearheaded the mod, swinging London of the '60s so hilariously parodied in the Austin Powers movies. "You put the top on it," Quant compliments the glowing Sassoon—fit, tan and affable at 83—as the two reminisce on camera 40 years later around the midpoint of the new profile documentary Vidal Sassoon: The Movie. Sassoon did "put the top on it" but he was just getting started. The sleek, geometric hair cuts most famously for Mia Farrow in 1968's Rosemary's Baby were followed by sleek, geometric salons and with merchandising in the '70s, Sassoon became renowned world wide.
