Twiggy
Following up on Quant, her film about fashion icon Mary Quant, director Sadie Frost brings us this charming, feel-good documentary tracing Twiggy’s rise to supermodel of the swinging 60s with those huge eyes, under three sets of lashes and waif-like ingénue smile. Twigs, or Sticks as she was called growing up — names that morphed into Twiggy by the time she was 16– was born Lesley Hornby from Neasden, North London, working- class and unabashed about it. She was soon dubbed the “It Girl” and “The Face of 1966“ (The Daily Express). In this documentary, celebrities such as Joanna Lumley, Paul McCartney and Dustin Hoffman talk of her extraordinary rise, her truck-driver laugh and her matter-of-factness. At 22 she became a talented actress and singer, but the fixation was always on that look – her childlike, stick-thin, androgynous challenge to female body image. UK 2024 (94 minutes)
