Our take

Among Vogue’s most famous photographers, William Klein presents a stylized, biting satire of the fashion industry, starring one of Resnais’ legendary actresses: Delphine Seyrig. Unusual camera angles, pop fantasy sequences, and madcap mod 60s styles: films don’t get more visually striking than this!
