The most popular women's shoes at Bergdorf's sell for $6000 a pair. They can't keep them in stock. If just reading that fills you with egalitarian rage, then you will probably not enjoy this documentary profile of what is arguably the world's greatest department store. But if you can stomach the notion of fashion as wearable art — and department-store windows as art in the service of commerce — then there is much to glean here, and even a few things to enjoy. Director Matthew Miele tries to give his loving portrait a bit of narrative drive by showing us those fantabulous windows from concept to completion. It's fun, but the real pleasures here are the personalities who make the retail magic happen. "What would you be doing if you weren't a personal shopper here?" he asks a longtime employee. "Probably drinking," comes the quick reply. (2013) — Matthew Lickona
