Sports Illustrated: The Making of Swimsuit 2013

About This Movie

So, this 2013 doc about Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue is something else. They went to Antarctica, of all places, which is just wild. You’ve got these 17 models, yeah, but it’s not just about the glamour; it’s how they navigate such extreme conditions. The pacing is a bit laid-back but allows for some interesting behind-the-scenes insights. The atmosphere really shifts from continent to continent, with each location bringing its own vibe. The practical effects of the icy landscape juxtaposed with high fashion create this strange, almost surreal quality. It’s fascinating how they pull it all together, showing not just the shoot but the camaraderie and the challenges faced by the crew. Definitely a unique take on the typical behind-the-scenes format.
