“Who are you, Polly Maggoo?”Directed by William Klein.
Satire of the fashion industry, Polly Maggoo is a 20-year-old Brooklyn-born fashion model in Paris in the 1960’s, on the runway at the big shows where magazine editor Ms. Maxwell is the reigning opinion maker.
After nearly a decade as American Vogue's most subversive
fashion photographer, William Klein made this wild, pseudo vérité incursion into the world of Parisian haute couture. Elegant, scathing humor ties together the various strands of this alternately glamorous and grotesque portrait of American in Paris Polly Maggoo (Dorothy Mac Gowan), an Alice in Wonderland supermodel who becomes the pinup plaything of media hounds and the fragmented fantasy of haunted Prince Igor (Sami Frey). William Klein's first fiction film is a daring deflation of cultural pretensions and institutions, dressed up in brilliant black and white.
