Editors love to ask questions. Being asked questions is another thing.

That may be why Vogue's Anna Wintour (pictured), the imperious subject of R.J. Cutler's documentary "The September Issue" (in the U.S. Documentary competition at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival) didn't take questions from the audience - as is traditional at Sundance screenings - after the movie's Saturday afternoon showing at the Temple Theatre.

Instead, Sundance programming director John Cooper asked the questions of Wintour and Cutler about the movie, which follows the process of putting together the magazine's all-important September issue - the thickest and most influential of the year.

Wintour admitted "it's quite hard to look at yourself" as a documentary subject. Her staff took time to get used to Cutler's presence as well: "At first, everybody was checking their make-up every five minutes. ... At the end of the nine months, he was just another person coming to work at Vogue."
