Gia sex scenes

HBO's most heavily hyped original movie since the similarly underwhelming The Josephine Baker Story , Gia tells the real-life story of Gia Carangi, a supermodel who embodied so many '80s excesses—drugs, promiscuity, androgyny, and, of course, being a supermodel—that it was perhaps inevitable that she would suffer a horrifying downfall. Carangi arrived in New York in the late '70s as a brash, vaguely punk, lesbian teenager, and proceeded to become one of the top fashion models in the business. But she remained, as illustrated in Gia , a surly, rebellious kid, a hellion so wild and nonconformist that at one point in the film, she actually opens a can of Tab with a switchblade. Such insouciance was not to be tolerated, at least not in the '80s, and Carangi soon fell victim to heroin addiction, unrequited love, poverty, unemployment, social banishment, and eventually a hideous AIDS-related death. Starring Angelina Jolie in the title role, Gia starts out as an unintentionally hilarious camp romp, the sort of overblown cautionary tale with which playwright-turned-screenwriter Cristofer The Bonfire Of The Vanities , The Witches Of Eastwick and novelist-screenwriter McInerney Bright Lights, Big City made their names during the '80s. Things slow down a bit after Jolie rises to the top, as Gia focuses on Jolie's doomed relationship with uptight make-up artist Elizabeth Mitchell; their relationship would probably be a lot more powerful if it weren't filled with sex scenes filmed with the vaseline-coated soft-focus abstraction found in Zalman King films and Playboy videos.
