From acclaimed director Mary Harron comes a provocative and stylish drama that traces the extraordinary journey of Bettie Page, a woman whose iconic image would forever change American culture. Gretchen Mol delivers a captivating performance as Bettie, a devoutly religious young woman from Nashville who moves to New York City in the 1950s with dreams of becoming an actress. When she stumbles into the world of pin-up and bondage photography, Bettie discovers a surprising sense of freedom and empowerment behind the camera. Under the guidance of photographers like David Strathairn's Irving Klaw, she becomes a sensation, her playful smile and daring poses captivating a nation even as they spark a moral panic. As the U.S. Senate launches a crusade against obscenity, Bettie finds herself at the center of a scandal that threatens to destroy the very career and identity she has built. Blending archival-style black-and-white footage with vivid color sequences, the film explores themes of sexuality, faith, and fame while celebrating the complex woman behind the iconic bangs. Lili Taylor and Cara Seymour co-star in this thought-provoking biopic that challenges perceptions of sin and liberation.
