DORIAN GRAY IN THE MIRROR OF THE YELLOW PRESS
ULRIKE OTTINGER West Germany, 1984
Rejecting sanctimonious satire, Ulrike Ottinger’s bold critique of the tabloid press allows for the surface pleasures of notoriety and celebrity. Starring an immaculate, never-more-devious Delphine Seyrig, this prescient film is magnetized with push-pull fascination for sparkly yet throwaway fun.
