Description

At first glance, Chris' pairing of Godard's New Wave groundbreaker Masculin Féminin with John Water's mainstream crossover Hairspray might seem a little bizarre.  In fact, they couldn't be further apart on the stylistic spectrum: the former is a wildly experimental art piece that captures Paris' pop culture with an almost documentary tone, and the latter is a seemingly-fluffy 60's satire shot in vivid color with cartoonish characters.  But in watching them back-to back, it became clear that the political themes behind both could not be more relevant to today!
