So, 'The Perfect Body Contest' is a bit of a curiosity from '87. It’s got this whole beauty pageant vibe, but it dives deeper into the pressures and obsessions surrounding body image. The pacing is somewhat uneven, sometimes dragging while at other moments it feels almost frenetic, which adds to the underlying tension. The performances, while not groundbreaking, have a certain charm—each contestant brings their own quirks, which makes the interactions somewhat compelling. The practical effects are minimal, but they serve the purpose of underscoring the theme of competition and self-worth. It’s not just about beauty; it’s a snapshot of an era’s attitude towards femininity and body ideals.
This film is lesser-known, which makes it a bit of an oddity for collectors. There aren't many releases out there, and the scarcity has driven up interest among niche collectors. It’s not exactly mainstream, so you might find it tucked away in the back of a collection or as a VHS oddity, but it definitely reflects a unique moment in cinema history.
