A fresh-face model comes into town and takes the place by storm igniting jealousy and vapid cruel behavior.
Yep. Been there, done that.
To get a better more entertaining version of this movie (though this is MASSIVELY stretched to the limit) watch the introduction scene by Robert Davi in "Showgirls" much more funny.
This is an odd commercial for...God knows what. There is no story here, only a lesson in beauty? Or beauty being in the eye of the beholder (literally) or...superficiality will last you so long? Or women hate other women? This is what I hate about Nicolas Winding Refn, the pretentious fuck. The images are beauty and brutal and...sometimes corpse fuckingly weird. But it really boils down to nothing.
You do keep wondering...Elle Fanning, who plays the lead character, was only 16 years old when she made this. Jodie Foster was younger when she did "Taxi Driver." And this industry still wonders how to protect children...while we celebrate their exploitation.
Nice.
