Breast Men

Breast Men is a 1997 American, semibiographical, dark comedy film it was written by John Stockwell and directed by Lawrence ONeil for HBO.

The film very loosely tracks the history of the reallife breast implant phenomenon, from its radical introduction through its incredible popularity, through the controversial link of its silicone base to various types of illnesses and cancers culminating in the Food and Drug Administrations moratorium on use of silicone in breast implants, leading the industry to use saline ones, instead. The story is interspersed with interview snippets of women from the 1970s who underwent breast augmentations with varying degrees of success, including their likes and dislikes about them. The interviews are marked by the fact that they show only the interviewees nude breasts and torso.In reality, silicone implants were developed by Texasbased plastic surgeons Drs. Frank Gerow and Thomas Cronin. ........
