1997 · 100 min

A playful, essayistic scrapbook that invites you to decode old Hollywood clips, mixing wit and insight with a gentle, revealing curiosity.

How it feels: Satirical, whimsical, earnest and cynical. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Identity, media, sexuality, art
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
