Drop Dead Gorgeous
The battle between the good and the bad is about to get ugly.
Directed by Michael Patrick Jann
Produced by Capella International, KC Medien AG
A darkly comedic mockumentary satire that uses small-town beauty pageant culture and escalating violence to skewer vanity, class privilege, and parental ambition.
In a small Minnesota town, the annual beauty pageant is being covered by a TV crew. Former winner Gladys Leeman wants to make sure her daughter follows in her footsteps; explosions, falling lights, and trailer fires prove that. As the Leemans are the richest family in town, the police are pretty relaxed about it all. Despite everything, main rival (but sweet) Amber Atkins won't give up without a fight.
