Banned by the Carpenter estate, Todd Haynes' experimental biopic
"Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story" (which uses Barbie dolls to
narrate the tragic life of the American singer) has become a cult
hit because of both its controversy and its rarity. This study
details the film's fascinating history: its production and initial
reception, its journey through the courts, and its bootleg
circulation among fans. It also explores "Superstar"'s rich,
provocative, and moving content, paying close attention to the
film's aesthetics, generic form, and cultural position as a hybrid
text.
