Historia
Amanda Lear (originally Tapp, born 18 November 1939 or 1946, in British Hong Kong) is a French singer, lyricist, composer, painter, TV presenter, actress and novelist.
Lear began her career as a fashion model in the mid-1960s and was also the muse of Spanish surrealist painter Salvador Dalí. She first came to the public attention as the model on the cover of Roxy Music's album For Your Pleasure in 1973. She was a multimillion selling Disco Queen in the mid-1970s to the early 1980s mainly in Continental Europe and Scandinavia with hits such as "Queen of Chinatown", "Follow Me", "Enigma (Give a Bit of Mmh to Me)" and "Fashion Pack". Lear has sold 15 million albums and over 25 million singles worldwide.
In the mid-1980s she positioned herself as one of the leading media personalities in mainland Europe, especially in Italy and in France where she hosted many long-running TV shows. Since the 1990s her time has been divided between music, television, writing and movies as well as pursuing her career as a painter. Currently she lives in Saint-Étienne-du-Grès near Avignon in the south of France.

Despite its Afro-American origins, the history of disco music, the soundtrack of the seventies, would be inconceivable without a handful of legendary European music producers who conjured up some of the biggest world-wide hits in the anonymity of their studios.

Inspired even as a boy by the Folies Bergere, the legendary Paris cabaret venue, couturier Jean-Paul Gaultier always wanted to stage a show there. "But what story can I tell?" he muses in this doc about the six months of preparation that went into the show. "Mine." Combining fashion with film, dance, theater, and unapologetic over-the-top-ness, the revue offers a 40-year career retrospective of the designer who is practically never spoken of without using the phrase enfant terrible. Notorious among cinephiles for his costumes for The Fifth Element and The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover and among pop fans for Madonna's pointy cone brassiere, he also incorporated teddy bears and S&M fetish gear as design motifs. In the show, the fanciful and outrageous meets the naughtily witty (a skit sending up Vogue dragon lady Anna Wintour) and the poignant (a tribute to his partner Francis Menuge, who died in 1990).

En 1975, el polifacético artista y director de culto Alejandro Jodorowsky soñó con un proyecto: la adptación de la novela clásica de ciencia-ficción "Dune", de Frank Herbert'. Junto al guionista de Hollywood y maestro de efectos especiales Dan O'Bannon, el (futuro) diseñador de "Alien" H.R. Giger y el artista de cómics Jean “Moebius” Giraud, todos bajo la dirección de Jodorowsky, "Dune" sería una superproducción cuyas cotas de ambición sobrepasaban todos los límites. Un sueño que se derrumbó antes de poder alzarse. Al fin, tras cuatro décadas, un documental nos desvela el film que pudo ser el "Dune" de Alejandro Jodorowsky, documental que emplea un enfoque similar a "Lost In La Mancha" de Terry Gilliam, y que nos permite descubrir entrevistas con sus principales artífices y una inmersión en todo el trabajo de pre-producción creado para la cinta.

El mundo del celuloide apasionó a Salvador Dalí a lo largo de toda su vida. El cine era el vehículo ideal para plasmar su desbordante imaginación. Sin embargo, sus películas, demasiado avanzadas y provocadoras para su tiempo, se perdieron en el tiempo.

En 1978, en el comienzo de la carrera como cantante de Amanda Lear, D'Amato decidió hacer una película con ella en la que recorre distintos pubs alrededor del mundo.
One of the human trio is Dick Fontaine, the director, a thin, long-haired youth who has put together this highly personal exercise on something or other that runs, mercifully, for 58 minutes and comes from an English group of movie folk called the Tattooists. The second visitor to the animal abattoir is a pretty girl. The third is a porky, middle-aged man addicted to the expression, "Ya know?"
The two men carry on a running argument about whether they should make a picture about pigs. "Are we making a movie, ya know?" says Fatso. "Where is it, ya know?" Then a bit later: "I'm making a movie about pigs, ya know?"
“FUN AND GAMES (FOR EVERYONE): a pitch black and milky white film shot during one of Olivier Mosset's exhibition openings.
