More style than substance, but an interesting film

More style than substance, but an interesting film nonetheless. Faye Dunaway in the role of a model and she is beautiful as are the clothes, the cars, the sets and locations. The movie is a nice time capsule of the more elegant set in 1970. Faye's acting is a bit overwrought and at times it is hard to look past her acting and see her as the character. The supporting cast fares better. Worth viewing at least once is this little known film with an unfortunate title.

I don't think it amounted to very much

Sad, beautifully shot movie. Perhaps even Faye Dunaway's

Sad, beautifully shot movie. Perhaps even Faye Dunaway's best role? I gotta think on that but boy is she perfect in this. A really surprisingly empathetic film - Lou clearly has issues but the movie never dismisses her as much as the men around her seem to do. You get the sense most of her problems come from her obsession with male affirmation. She needs to be told she's attractive, she needs to sleep with somebody to confirm her attractiveness, she needs attention, she needs people to be after her - but can you blame her when it's literally all she knows? Starting with when she's 15 and some creep older man uses his star power to assault her... she's been conditioned to need to be needed, but she realizes she doesn't actually want what she wants and it throws her entire world into chaos. It makes me think of the Serge Gainsbourg quote: "We take women for what they are not, and leave them for what they are."
