Heeeeere’s Johnny … Pigozzi, that is. The French-Italian photographer, fashion designer, art collector, C.E.O. of Simca automobiles, author of 11 books, and boyfriend to “hundreds” of girlfriends, is now getting his own documentary. Brought to us by Julien Temple, the music-video director of the Sex Pistols, I Am Curious Johnny features interviews with glitzy friends such as Michael Douglas and Diane von Furstenberg (who clarifies that “big stars are his groupies,” not the other way around). Dubbed the “father of the selfie,” Pigozzi cut his teeth doing just that, using his Leica Sofort to pose cheek-to-cheek with Mick Jagger, Iman, Candice Bergen, John Belushi, and so many others it earned him a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. All of which led Pigozzi to a few simple truths: “Business should be fun. Women like to have sex.... and my best quality is curiosity.” —Carolina de Armas
