Political Fashion as a theme seems intrinsically tied up with the politics of sex and appearance; perhaps it was inevitable that make-up supremo Val Garland’s film would address these issues. ‘Push’ is exquisitely colour-saturated, thought-provoking and technically flawless – like all of Val’s work.

Models on swings go back and forth while 'art' type soundtrack plays on, at the end of the piece model takes off white mask and smears her mascara over her eyes while crying. The film is not thought provoking or subtle in any way: make me think of.....

nice film in general ..... but it makes me think that the model is going through a kind of personal crisis :):) ... or have just heard some bad news as to make her want to cry ....

It looks like she is upset about the wrong brand of mascara, maybe she wanted Dior but got Boots No6.

this film is very beautiful. Vals job is to make people flawless and fabulous. wiping away all of the hard work is proberbly quite satisfying for her and the total opposite to what she creates.

Great film! Only complaint is it's too short.

What I find interesting in this film is the fact that it is made by a make up artist .Someone who never holds the camera ,who always has to defer to the photographer.Who always has to let someone else crystalise their vision.
It is an amazing piece of film for someone who has never ( i guess) directed before.It is confident,sexually assured and beautifully shot. Val you have a talent that you should use more.I would love to see more films by you,don't stop here.
