Lipstick (1976)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 10 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.

If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

This last option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs.

Plot – Spoilers:
Christine, a supermodel at the peak of her beauty and fame is at a beach shooting promos for a lipstick brand. Her teenage sister Kathy invites the music teacher from school, Gordon, with the intention of getting Christine to listen to his music. It’s a silly reason to invite someone to a shoot but one that makes a lot of sense to Kathy, and oddly to Gordon too.

Christine who is indulgent to her kid sister is polite to Gordon and casually invites him to her apartment to play his stuff as she is busy with the shoot. Gordon takes the casual invitation seriously and turns up at her place and forces her to listen to his compositions which are putrid to say the least. It becomes clear to him that Christine isn’t impressed and he proceeds to rape her brutally. The rest of the movie follows the courtroom drama that ensues.

Favorite Scenes:
The apartment scenes prior to the rape:
Gordon is evidently delusional and sees himself as some kind of electronic artist and the awkwardness in their conversations is painful to watch. And the way he walks around everywhere with that tape recorder tucked in his arm :))

Random:
Margaux Hemingway is the granddaughter of Ernest Hemingway and was a ’70s supermodel irl. The kid sister in Lipstick was played by her real-life sister Mariel, who later claimed that Margaux (who committed suicide at 42) had been molested by their father growing up.

The Cesc Fabregas looking Gordon is Chris Sarandon, Susan Sarandon’s first husband from whom she took her surname.

I didn’t know anything about this film before I started watching it. Mr. Stuart is a music teacher at a middle school. He got the gig after some woke liberal heard his lousy creepy music. The goony music teacher rapes Christine and I’m thinking it’s going to be a revenge film but then the victim decides to fuck herself over again by taking it to court. At least the sister Kathy got fucked over too, which she totally deserved after fucking over her sister Christine. Truthfully I was hoping Mr. Stuart would fucked them both over again after the first trial. I’m going to give this one just a cunt hair over 2 and a half stars and let me tell you why. It’s just a little too irritating,

Love a good courtroom movie, but that and the ending were the only good things the movie had to offer. The woman in the lead role is typical of those so often and incorrectly called ‘supermodels’ – tall, thin, with an unattractive face caked in make-up. The last great courtroom rape drama I saw was The Accused starring Jodie Foster, and by a freak coincidence she bears an uncanny resemblance to the boyfriend in this movie – Perry King.

Great casting, music, etc.
In this one the bad guy literally creates and broadcasts 70’s rapewave at appropriate moments. Aesthetic AF

Similar to ”Extremities” starring Farrah Fawcett Majors, where a bunch of women turn the tables on a rapist and keep him prisoner in a fireplace cavity and abuse him in revenge for what he did. A myriad of women revenge films were spawned from here. I love films about unhinged women who do some nasty things, its such a turn on to see them all sweaty and covered in gore, wow, getting excited just thinking about it. Off to watch ”Sick Girl” again.

Story is great but instead of sympathizing with the victims, I said to myself “Kathy deserves it”, she is one big dum dum. Imagine being one of your loved one raped by the man you knew, then one day casually meeting him in one secluded place, she is asking for something to happen.

Victim blaming is awful but Kathy definitely asking to be raped. Girl, why she didn’t feel hatred, threatened or alarmed when she saw the rapist at theater? Why she let has a nice chit chat on isolated dark empty stage?? WHY KATHY WHY????
