The Self-Destruction of Gia is a haunting dive into the life of Gia Carangi, the first supermodel, whose rise and fall intertwines beauty and tragedy. JJ Martin stitches together rare home movies and candid photographs, creating an intimate portrait that feels almost invasive yet respectful. The pacing shifts between the frenetic highs of her modeling career and the devastating lows of her personal struggles. It’s raw, often uncomfortable, but incredibly human. The contemporary interviews add layers of reflection, revealing the impact of Gia’s life on those around her. The documentary captures not just a life lost to addiction, but also a cultural moment in the fashion world that feels eerily relevant even today.
