Often misjudged as a dress rehearsal for his famed 1954 adaptation of A Star Is Born, What Price Hollywood? is a drastically different beast – a demystification of the Hollywood myth that is far grittier and less sentimental than the Judy Garland musical. Constance Bennett plays a waitress who gets skyrocketed to stardom after a chance encounter with Lowell Sherman’s alcoholic director. Inevitable heartbreak ensues as the new-born star becomes disillusioned with Hollywood. Neither an outright condemnation of movie culture nor a romanticization of Tinseltown, What Price Hollywood? offers a rare, clinical look at Hollywood, rendering it as an industrial machine, a corporate juggernaut, rather than a factory of dreams.

Hollywood al desnudo es una mirada directa a la desilusión del típico viaje a la cima de Hollywood. Es algo inconexo, oscila entre la comedia irónica de la primera mitad y el melodrama inadecuadamente pesado de la segunda. Hacia el final se estaba forzando demasiado para mi gusto en los cambios de humor. [KVIFF 2021]
