Full Plot Details

Died Young, Stayed Pretty is a candid look at the underground poster culture in North America. This unique documentary examines the creative spirit that drives these indie graphic artists. They pick through the dregs of America's schizophrenic culture and piece them back together. What you end up with is a caricature of the black and bloated heart that pulses greed through the US economy. The artists push further into the pulp to grab the attention of passersby, plastering art that's both vulgar and intensely visceral onto the gnarled surfaces of the urban landscape. The film gives us intimate look at some of the giants of this modern subculture. Outside of their own circle, they're virtually unknown. But within their ranks they make up an army of bareknuckle brawlers, publicly arguing the aesthetic merits of octopus imagery and hairy 70s porn stars. They've created their own visual language for describing the spotty underbelly of western civilization and they're not shy about throwing it in the face of polite society. Along the way, they manage to create posters that are strikingly obscene, unflinchingly blasphemous and often quite beautiful. Yaghoobian shows these artists for what they are: the vivisectionists of America's morbidly obese consumer culture.

Movie Reviews

Montreal Gazette - 10/10 by John GriffinEileen Yaghoobian's fabulous debut doc is an inclusive look at the renaissance of poster art in the wake of punk and the rebirth of a defiant counterculture.
New York Post - 8/10 by V.A. MusettoYaghoobian's nonlinear editing is as offbeat as the posters, with non sequiturs and strange asides. She lets scenes run a few seconds longer than most directors would -- to good effect.
Globe and Mail - 8/10 by Rick GroenYaghoobian proves she has a flair for the telling detail every bit as keen as her subjects'.
Eye for Film - 8/10 by Jennie KermodeIf you've ever bought an album because you liked the cover art only to find that the band couldn't live up to it, this film is for you.
Detroit Free Press - 6/10 by John MonaghanThe poster makers... mine the outer limits of violence and misogyny with a garish, pop art palette.
Total Film - 6/10 by Jamie RussellWeird, wacky and full of arresting promo images for bands like Arcade Fire, Teengenerate and Turbonegro.
Slant Magazine - 6/10 by Adam KelemanFrom an outsider's perspective, Died Young is thorough, diving into minor, specific details like the silkscreen process used by many of the artists.
Toronto Star - 6/10 by Jason AndersonThough Died Young Stayed Pretty could have used some serious streamlining, it still succeeds as a showcase for some of this decade's most arresting examples of graphic design.
eFilmCritic.com - 6/10 by David CorneliusThe fast moving, seemingly random approach gets us best into the heads of these artists.
Village Voice - 6/10 by Nick PinkertonWhenever the quaint, binary idea of a scrappy counterculture vs. The Man overshadows the personalities, craft, and musical context, the movie's an Adbusters bore.
