British artist and living legend Andrew Logan, loved the world over by celebrities and misfits alike, takes us under his glittering wing and inside his outrageous, anarchic and spectacular costume pageant: the Alternative Miss World Show.
The film doesn’t go deep on politics, but Logan’s gregarious presence provides plentiful pleasures in this heartfelt homage to a warm, wily art-world one-off.
How absolutely bloody marvellous.
Jes Benstock's jubilant, disarming documentary.
Benstock's sideways look at the world of alternative fashion is funny, fabulous and fittingly batty.
I enjoyed the film, but I cannot describe the lengths I'd go to or the excuses I'd offer to avoid attending one of these entertainments.
