| Who Are You, Polly Maggoo? (Qui êtes-vous, Polly Maggoo?) |
Klein's first fiction feature is a wild, stylish strip tease of 1960s celebrity obsession and Parisian haute couture idolatry, startlingly designed with pop-art aesthetics and a fabulous satirical/sartorial eye.
Model Polly Maggoo (Dorothy MacGowan) is the toast of Paris gracing catwalks, billboards and magazines, when she becomes the next topic of '
Qui êtes-vous?', a television documentary series. The show's filmmaker (Jean Rochefort) finds himself falling for his subject and competing with rival suitor the 'handsome Prince' (Sami Frey).
Klein's work as a
Vogue photographer and in French television laces this surreal fashion fairytale with an insiders' sense of the absurd.
