Sixty-two inches of Gaga

The film, which is having its premiere at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, is directed by Emmy-nominated filmmaker Chris Moukarbel of “Banksy Does New York” fame.

“It is a rare moment when one is invited behind the curtain to witness the raw truth of an individual, even more so when that person happens to be one of the most recognisable, influential and scrutinised public figures in culture today,” said Lisa
Nishimura, vice president of original documentaries for Netflix.

“Chris Moukarbel deftly brings us into Lady Gaga’s intimate world; allowing us to experience the drive, conflict, passion, complexity and deeply personal creative process behind this singular artist.”

The film pulls back the curtain to introduce the woman behind the performer, the costumes, the glitz and the glamour. Off-stage, in the studio, unplugged and at home, audiences get an unguarded glimpse at Gaga through a series of personal
highs and lows and the culmination of a year’s emotional journey. From struggles with relationships to health issues, from finding solace in her inner circle to conquering her insecurities, “Gaga: Five Foot Two” navigates the divide between
life as a superstar and life as an everyday woman.

“I had a rare opportunity to create a portrait of an artist with such an open heart and mind. I feel really lucky that Gaga trusted me and my vision,” said Moukarbel.
“I'm excited for people to really get to know the woman I work with every day,” added Lady Gaga’s manager Bobby Campbell. “She’s one of the hardest working, most genuine, and truly hilarious people in the world.” 

“Live Nation Productions is used to telling artists’ stories in new and intimate ways that bridge the gap between musician and fan. The extraordinary personal access Lady Gaga gave us allows everyone to experience her fearlessness, vulnerability
and true devotion to her craft,” said Heather Parry, Live Nation Productions’ President of Production, Film & Television.
