William Klein seeks inspiration in his decade-long career as a fashion photographer for Vogue, to deliver a satirical portrayal of the world of Parisian haute couture. In this sumptuous black-and-white film, Polly Maggoo (Dorothy MacGowan) is an American top model in Paris, whose fantasies and pretensions reflect the ongoing disillusionment of the cultural institutions.
Screened in partnership with HackelBury Fine Art, London, as part of William Klein: 100 Retrospective, September 2026 – February 2027, hackelbury.co.uk
