Qui êtes-vous Polly Maggoo ? / In and out fashion - Coffret 2 DVD
0 - Default Title
Description
Satire. Polly Maggoo is a fashion model in Paris, 20, on the runway at the big shows where magazine editor Miss Maxwell is the reigning opinion maker. The ridiculous passes for sublime. Polly becomes the subject of a vapid TV news documentary, 'Qui êtes-vous, Polly Maggoo?,' and she's pursued by the filmmaker and by the prince of Borodine, a small country. We watch as the documentary is shot; we await Polly's arrival in the principate; we observe a lunch in the suburbs; we learn of her childhood in Brooklyn. Is there more to Polly than her pretty face? Is anything below the surface?
In and Out of Fashion
The Paris-based photographer-painter-actor-filmmaker William Klein looks back on five decades of his life and multi-careers in this French documentary. Born in 1926, Klein is a native New Yorker who began living in Paris in 1948, studied painting with Fernand Leger, photographed for Vogue from 1955 to 1965, dropped out of the fashion world for 15 years, and directed hundreds of commercials (from soup to hosiery). He was seen onscreen as an actor (People Will Talk, La Jetee) and worked offscreen as a visual consultant (Louis Malle's 1960 Zazie dans le Metro). Klein made both short and feature documentaries (from fighters to fashion), including and Far From Vietnam (1967) and Muhammed Ali, The Greatest. His dramatic film Who Are You, Polly Magoo? (1966) won the 1967 Prix Jean Vigo. Also excerpted here is Mr. Freedom (1968), a fable about America's intervention in Vietnam. ...Who Are You, Polly Magoo? / In and Out of Fashion ( Qui êtes-vous, Polly Maggoo? )
