About this event
A television crew follows Polly Maggoo, an American supermodel living in Paris, as part of a documentary attempting to uncover the person behind her public image. While the crew investigates her life, Polly navigates the attention of the fashion world, admirers, and men who project their own fantasies onto her. (IMDb) William Klein’s satirical mockumentary takes aim at the absurdity of fashion, celebrity culture, and the media’s obsession with image and personality. Blending pop art, surreal humour, and documentary techniques, it captures the artificial world of 1960s fashion while questioning whether anyone can truly exist outside the images created around them.
