Framing Britney Spears
Britney Spears gained fame and notoriety between the late 1990s and early 2000s, when the pop star released singles like "...Baby One More Time", "Oops!... I Did It Again" and “Toxic”. However, after a series of issues involving the singer's overexposure, Spears virtually disappeared from the pop scene. Little is said about her work, possible new music or even how the singer's life is going -- a frequent tabloid topic in the 2000s. Now, we understand a bit more about this disappearance with the simple and effective documentary 'Framing Britney Spears'. Directed by Samantha Stark and produced by the American newspaper The New York Times, the feature film shows what lies behind the #FreeBritneySpears movement, which tries to publicize what has happened to the star in recent years, when she became tutored by her father. That is, he is the one in charge of her life, managing her schedule and even her finances. It is a documentary that never tries to be more than it is, only serving as a starting point for a greater reflection and a search for understanding of Spears' troubled life. Fans will be emotional. Those who did not know this strange and bizarre story in the life of one of the biggest names in music will be shocked.
