Zoolander (M) Presented in 35mm
Zoolander at Revival House Perth
Really, really, really ridiculously good-looking comedy! Ben Stiller writes, directs, and stars as Derek Zoolander, a dim-witted male model whose career is threatened by the emergence of hot new rival Hansel (Owen Wilson). When fashion mogul Mugatu (Will Ferrell) offers Derek a comeback opportunity, it's actually part of a sinister plot to assassinate the Prime Minister of Malaysia using Derek as a brainwashed assassin.
This brilliantly absurd 2001 satire skewers the fashion industry, celebrity culture, and male vanity with pitch-perfect performances and endlessly quotable dialogue. Stiller's portrayal of the vain but good-hearted Derek, combined with Wilson's zen surfer-dude Hansel, creates comedy gold that launched a thousand catchphrases.
Christine Taylor shines as investigative journalist Matilda, while David Duchovny delivers conspiracy theories with deadpan perfection. The film's fashion show sequences, "walk-offs," and Derek's signature looks (Blue Steel, Le Tigre, Magnum) have become pop culture icons.
Featuring hilarious cameos from real fashion designers and celebrities who were brave enough to lampoon their own industry.
Presented on authentic 35mm film for the true cinematic experience!
