Inspired by cult films of the 1960s and 70s,
the hauntingly beautiful figures in Glitterland exude the sensuality and tension found in pulp art or film noir - an uncertain reality that extends beyond the frame.
The film's leading lady was former silent star and future cult -
figure Louise Brooks, the
hauntingly beautiful leading lady of G.W. Pabst's Diary of a Lost Girl and Pandora's Box, here making her last film appearance.
For more than forty years, Sally Mann (b. 1951, Lexington, Virginia) has made experimental, elegiac, and
hauntingly beautiful photographs — a broad body of work that includes
figure studies, still lifes, and landscapes.
