Storia
Gordon Stuart, an aspiring avant-garde composer and music teacher, brutally rapes Chris McCormick, a supermodel and his student's sister. Chris reports the crime to the police but when the case goes to trial, she faces slut-shaming from the defense and Gordon is found innocent by the jury. Traumatized by the event, Chris is devastated by this miscarriage of justice. Later, Gordon rapes Chris' younger sister Kathy. Driven by a desire for vengeance, Chris takes matters into her own hands to serve justice outside the courtroom.
Riassunto
Lipstick (1976) is a drama-thriller directed by Lamont Johnson that explores themes of rape and its devastating aftermath on victims in a society that often blames them instead. The film follows Chris McCormick, a fashion model who is raped by her sister's music teacher Gordon Stuart. When she reports the crime, she faces slut-shaming from the defense during the trial, leading to Gordon's acquittal. The movie critiques the legal system's failure in serving justice for rape victims and highlights the importance of believing survivors.
