The Body Beautiful

This bold and stunning exploration of a white mother who undergoes a radical mastectomy and her Black daughter who embarks on a modeling career reveals the profound effects of body image and the strain of racial and sexual identity on their charged and intensely loving bond. The story follows a white mother who undergoes a radical mastectomy and her daughter who begins a modeling career. Memory and imagination are deftly entwined in Onwurah's bold foray into the sexuality of her disapproved-of mother, and the result is a startling weaving together of the two. An indelible ode to motherhood that stars the director's own mother, Madge Onwurah, the film explores the depths of a daughter's loyalty to her mother and the strength of a mother's love for her child.
