NEW YORK — Almost comically overconvinced of the importance of its subject — one of its first sound bites suggests “it’s impossible to overestimate his importance”; later interviewees describe his “epic level” creativity and compare his “war” against stodgy hairstyling trends to World War II — “Vidal Sassoon: The Movie” is nonetheless entertaining and comprehensive in its account of the man’s career.

In the opening montage of Vidal Sassoon: The Movie, the famed hairdresser is compared to Muhammad Ali, Albert Einstein, and Jesus. That’s a bit much to put on him, much less to live up to. Thankfully, the rest of the film takes a much less solemn approach (though with about that degree of reverence)–it’s a bright, cheery pop confection, the entertaining tale of “how one man changed the world with a pair of scissors.”

The film is directed by Craig Teper and co-produced by Bumble and Bumble founder Michael Gordon; it utilizes Gordon’s assembly of a coffee-table book about Sassoon, one of his idols, as the loose framework with which to tell his story. It is the tale of a self-made man, a poor kid from London who developed a love for hair styling from his first apprenticeship and ended up revolutionizing the entire landscape of hair design, becoming a marketable, one-man industry in the process.

As is befitting its subject, this is a bright, slick, impeccably-designed documentary, full of stylish black and white interviews, colorful graphics, and inventive photography–Teper makes it his mission to make the interviews more active and dynamic than the typical bust shot of a talking head. Sassoon does a gorgeous walk-and-talk next to the Thames, London Bridge in the background; later, when discussing his love for football, he chats about the sport (in a team jersey and shorts) from the center of a richly saturated football stadium. Teper’s also digs up some wonderful archival footage (particularly those kitschy ’70s commercials and TV appearances), and he has a gift for montage–the reflection of swinging ’60s London is a real kick.
