Misbehaviour
(Date TBC)
Swimsuit parades, waves and twirls, and Bob Hope. But also the Women’s Liberation Movement and Keira Knightley with a burning feminist agenda! Set at the Miss World competition hosted by Hope in 1970, the competition was the most-watched TV show in the world, when the newly-formed WLM disrupted the live broadcast by invading the stage. But rather than setting up the film as feminists vs. contestants, MISBEHAVIOUR tells a more nuanced story - with Miss Grenada then being crowned as the first woman of colour winner ever, the stage was set for both patriarchy and societal ideals of beauty to take a big kick in the guts.
