Whatever Happened to Baby Jane The Screen at Contemporary: Funny Girl
21st November 2018
18:30 - 20:30 GMT
The Screen at Contemporary presents its winter 2018 film season, Funny Girl. This season we explore outspoken, quietly rebellious, sometimes nasty and subversive female characters.
Baby Jane is a former child star who was once overshadowed by her younger sister. Years later they now live in a decrepit Hollywood mansion where bitterness and rotting resentments have festered. This cult classic is made ever more infamous by Davies & Crawford’s off-screen feud. This is part horror, part Hollywood parable and, in today’s context, a dark exploration of mythologising female youth.
