YOUTH KNOWS NO PAIN
In YOUTH KNOWS NO PAIN, an age-obsessed daughter of a plastic surgeon (filmmaker Mitch McCabe) takes a journey through America's $60 billion a year Anti-Aging world. In this Alice-in-Wonderland tale, McCabe spends 2 years traveling across America visiting doctors, experts and living with a cross-section of characters from Minnesota to Texas who've gone to varying lengths to "beat the clock", painting a funny but troubling portrait of a country that desperately needs to stay forever young. Along the way, one wonders if the filmmaker herself hasn't been pulled in by the seduction of youth. - 86 Min. USA |
