Who Are You, Polly Maggoo?

Cinematically innovative, this film is unlike any other. It incorporates visual devices and parody as though it were a film from another era, making use of the fetishistic delirium of the world of fashion and the arrogance of the world of television. These satirical jibes aimed at the system of the Media shock with their scathing dialogue and convoluted humor. With a particularly lucid mindset, Klein foresaw the frenzy that would prevail in the world of fashion and the narcissistic tendencies in the world of television. A form of entertainment that comes close to being a bloody game, where the poetry of images and sets never loses its central position.
