Caprice

About This Movie

So, Caprice is this curious little gem from '86, and it’s got a unique vibe. It’s Joanna Hogg's graduation project, and she really nails this whimsical atmosphere. The story follows a girl who gets sucked into a fashion magazine, which is just such a surreal concept. You can see early glimpses of Tilda Swinton’s talent—her performance is raw, captivating even in this experimental setting. The pacing feels dreamy, almost like you're flipping through magazine pages. The practical effects, though simple, add to that ethereal quality, creating a world that feels both familiar and bizarre. You can tell Hogg was already honing her craft, exploring themes of identity and fantasy in such a visually striking way.
