Beauty

About This Movie

So, Beauty from '77 is this really intriguing piece, isn't it? You've got this guy in drag, sort of lost in his own world, dressed up like a pin-up, and it’s a wild take on femininity. The way he mimics all those classic icons—Monroe, West, Lamarr—it's both funny and unsettling. The pacing feels deliberate, almost like a performance art piece, layering that humor with a biting commentary on societal norms surrounding sex symbols. The practical effects? Well, they’re minimal, but they really emphasize the rawness of the whole experience. It’s definitely distinctive, not something you see every day in mainstream cinema, really makes you think about what we find attractive and why.

Beauty is quite rare on physical media, with most collectors only finding it in obscure collections or festival circuits. The film hasn't seen a lot of official releases, so copies can be hard to track down. Given its unique approach and commentary, there’s a growing interest among niche collectors who appreciate experimental cinema and cultural critiques.
