Karen Carpenter's battle with anorexia nervosa and the cultural influence of the Carpenters in the 70s. Squashed by the Carpenter estate this film is all but impossible to see. I think it has less to do with "unauthorized" use of Carpenter songs then the fact that Karen's family comes across as monsters and largely responsible for her death. All of the parts are played out by Ken and Barbie dolls.

Wow! Finally!
I'll compare the quality with the VHS rip I have of this. If mine is better I'll share it.
This is the best thing that could have happened to the Carpenter estate! How could they have possibly sue. It allowed a new young hip public to see their awful music in a whole new light.
This thing is like a fugging Sonic Youth video! And of course it was SY's fascination with Karen Carpenter that fueled their resurgence in the '90's. The Carpenter's music was still too awful for me then, (being in my rowdy '20's and not having discovered heroin yet) If I was still banging up smack today, though the Carpenters is what I would listen to.
This is sicker than the recent films of John Waters. I'm sure if you showed this film to a bunch of immates in a maximum security prison they would go, "You're fugged up, man!"
Bravo to Todd Haynes! Almost as good as Velvet Goldmine!!

karen rules yeahhh.
thanks man.
thanks man.
I haven't seen this... I saw the made-for-tv movie starring Cynthia Gibb, it was stunning. I am trying to find that somewhere, it was great... someone please find that. Yeah, guilt sucks, doesn't it? But she made her own choices... such a pity, such a loss, her voice was truly spectacular, and Cynthia Gibb was SOOO adorable in it, it was the movie that made me fall in love with the voice.
big thanks! i've been wanting to see this for a while. don't know why someone gave a negative for the quality. it's known for the grainy, distorted quality.. also for the black captions blending in with the scene.
