In her 2000, film American Psycho, writer/director Mary Harron (see also, I Shot Andy Warhol) explored America’s relationship with and reaction to violence – or perhaps, lack of reaction. Now Harron brings us The Notorious Bettie Page, the story of the 1950s pin-up model who would go on to become a cult icon of sexuality. With this film Harron has explored America’s relationship with and reaction – or perhaps more accurately, overreaction – to sex. Though NBP is a much sweeter, more optimistic work that Harron’s previous films, it is no less thematically complicated and raises significant questions about many aspects of American society both past and present, ranging from sex and religion to politics and capitalism.
