Newscom R.J. Cutler, director of The September Issue, talks to The Daily Beast’s Kim Masters about what’s behind Vogue editor Anna Wintour’s famous sunglasses.

Filmmaker R.J. Cutler seems curiously irked when asked whether he thinks Meryl Streep captured something of Vogue editor Anna Wintour in her Oscar-nominated performance in The Devil Wears Prada. He’s already explained that he approached Wintour about filming the process of putting together Vogue’s hefty and influential September issue months before The Devil Wears Prada was in theaters. Still, as you watch his documentary, The September Issue, it makes you wonder whether there really is something of Wintour’s mystique in Streep’s performance.

The September Issue, which opens in New York this week and gradually around the country, chronicles several months in the making of Vogue’s September 2007 edition. It provides an intimate peek at the eyes so often hidden behind Wintour’s famous dark glasses and reveals a woman who is opportunistically charming but who mostly seems to exist in splendid isolation, issuing sometimes-devastating pronouncements with a chilly insouciance that would make Marie Antoinette jealous.
