Beyonce "Pretty Hurts" (Melina Matsoukas, dir.)

Beyoncé - Pretty Hurts

Beyonce's Visual Album kicks off with "Pretty Hurt," drawing upon memories of childhood beauty pageants, but with a specific focus on the forced smiles, forced diets and other pressures. Eventually it all comes to a head for Miss Third Ward with pageant host Harvey Keitel.
