Gloss: The Director's Cut / 超模夢 - 32nd HK Film Fest

It's a tortuous story about a Russian suburb girl who seeks her Model dream.  It somehow reflects the current increasing discrepancy  between the rich and the poor under Russia's fast economic development. People flows to city to seek dream, but under the money, all are about drugs, porns, prostitution, gangs.  Behind the prosperity, it's just a dirty world: say, you can pay to customize a wife that exactly the same as a 60-70's celebrity.  Love becomes a commodity. 

It's not an very impressed movie, I like the tease of fashion world riding the imitation of Jean Paul Gautier and Karl Largerfield though.
