The Body Beautiful

WUTI Presents: Trailblazing Women of British Cinema • 24m

Directed by Ngozi Onwurah | 24 mins | 1991
A tale of two women, a mother and a daughter, divided not just by age but by race and conventions of sexual desirability too, with the elder woman having undergone a double mastectomy and the teenager stepping into modeling. Ngozi Onwurah’s boldly stylized, semi-autobiographical short is anchored by a commanding performance from her real-life mother, Madge.
