Dorian Gray in the Mirror of the Popular Press

(Dorian Gray im Spiegel der Boulevardpresse)
Ulrike Ottinger / NĚM, 1983
german / czech and english sub, 150 min

This striking odyssey into surrealism stars Delphine Seyrig as a Dr. Mabuse-like head of an international press organization who concocts nefarious schemes to increase circulation. Women take over roles traditionally awarded men including the 60’s model Veruschka von Lehndorff in the role of the narcissistic Dorian Gray.
