Discounting the documentary format and the gritty black white film, the modeling industry in all its eighties excess is captured as vibrantly as ever, even without the electric spandex and technicolor eyeshadow. Model by Frederick Wiseman is all sorts of fabulous and has been screening at MoMA. It follows models and artists from the currently nonexistent Zoli agency through casting calls, photoshoots, pantyhose ads, and an Oscar de la Renta show with a young Jerry Hall. If you can, go see, Monday March 22.
