Films in the key of Ritts
April 27, 2012
This weekend marks the beginning of a new film series at the Getty. Titled “What Becomes a Legend,” it will screen classic films unified by their propensity to test society’s mores and boundaries.
The series is a companion to the Getty’s exhibit Herb Ritts: L.A. Style, which presents some of the renowned portrait photographer’s best fashion, celebrity and nude prints. Like Ritts, the directors of the films that will be shown had a knack for bringing out the best in their subjects, making them look like stars.
