Shot adroitly by Bob Richman, ”The September Issue” shifts from runway to offi ce to meetings to photo shoots, as Vogue assembles the seasonal issue that sells clothes worldwide, and sells the advertising that keep the magazine ahead of its competition. Wintour’s influence is so crucial that the chairman of Neiman Marcus pleads with her at a breakfast in Paris to pressure designers to deliver their goods on time for the stores.

Wintour here is complicated. She is blunt and decisive but through most of the film she takes her trademark dark glasses off in the offi ce and for interviews with Cutler. She discusses her father, a journalist, and reacts with sadness when her daughter Bee shows little desire to enter either journalism or fashion.
