Body Parts (2022)

In the #MeToo era, Hollywood is portrayed as a toxic environment that uses various forms of coercion to get actresses to strip on camera. In her interview series with Jane Fonda and other stars, Kristy Guevara-Flanagan gives women an active role. She gives them a face, a voice, and the feelings that were denied them. Through a wealth of archival material, it also explores the forms of representation of the female body in the American film industry. We follow the work of sex choreographers and coaches who master the techniques of simulating a sexual act or creating the illusion of intimacy during filming. Women are both victims and co-creators of an environment that fetishizes their bodies and turns them into erotic objects.
