About Qui êtes-vous,...?

www.quietes-vous.net is an online tribute to exceptional characters and to black and white aesthetics curated by Kikamod.
It was inspired by a mock French TV programme that has never actually existed. The “Qui êtes vous, …?” concept was part of the plot of “Qui êtes vous, Polly Maggoo?”, a 1966 French film directed by William Klein. It is a satirical art house movie about fashion industry and its excesses, about television and magazines as well as society and its stereotypes, fairy tales, princes and princesses. The heroine, Polly Maggoo, is a fashion model acted by Dorothy McGowan. Polly is being followed throughout the film by a television crew. A quite peculiar TV crew, indeed, consisting of Philippe Noiret and Jean Rochefort, among others, who hold a biography programme about well-known personalities they attempt to “expose” on camera. Ironically enough, after Polly Maggoo, the directors of the programme plan a show about the Pope.
The aim of www.quietes-vous.net is to reveal and share opinions, thoughts, information about people or events of interest rather than exposing them, though. Your opinion, comments, contributions or recommendations are more than welcome.
