NOT A PRETTY PICTURE
United States | 1975 | Martha Coolidge
Martha Coolidge’s feature debut is a meta-movie in which the future director of Valley Girl and Rambling Rose looks back on her rape at the age of 16. Casting another rape victim in the role of her teenage self, Coolidge employs a mix of documentary and fiction to raise provocative questions about sexual violence and its on-screen representation. “Courageous and innovative…Its blend of documentary and dramatic filmmaking, of first-person reflection and reenactment, sets a standard for cinematic inquiry.” –New Yorker. Cleveland revival premiere. DCP. 83 min.
