    A documentary-fiction hybrid that continues to raise provocative questions about sexual violence and the ethics of its on-screen representation. COOLIDGE based the film’s fictional sections on her rape at the age of sixteen; in the role of her younger self, she cast Michele MANENTI, also a rape victim. Realizing documentary’s potential to foster catharsis and interpersonal dialogue, Not a Pretty Picture stands as one of the genre’s boldest and most revelatory experiments in metacinema. Restored by the Academy Film Archive and the Film Foundation.
