Criterion Collection - Not A Pretty Picture - Blu-ray

For her enduringly powerful narrative feature directing bow, Martha Coolidge juxtaposed a dramatic re-creation of the events surrounding her own date rape in the early '60s at age 16-by a college student four years her senior-with compelling perspectives from the actors about the characters and situations that they were called upon to portray. Michele Manenti leads as the young Coolidge; with Reed Birney, James Carrington, and in her screen debut, Amy Wright. 83 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English (SDH); bonus documentary "Old-Fashioned Woman" (1974); featurette.
