The Circuit

Thoughout the Q&A following "The September Issue's" Saturday screening (at the Temple, no less), helmer R.J. Cutler held Anna Wintour's microphone as she expressed gratitude that there was a record of her staff's efforts building Vogue's biggest issue of the year.

"Were there some things that I didn't want to be in the film? Yes. But RJ ignored every one of my suggestions," said the icy editor. "It's hard to look at yourself so intensely."

Cutler, who loves the word awesome, said that while it's his vision, the film is a colaboration.

"Which leads sometimes to awesome email exchanges," he said.

In the doc, Wintour's seemingly frozen emotional responses puts the drama at the feet of her staff, who panic with her every move.

But buyers leaving the screening felt the film needed more of it.
