Directed by Celeste Bell and Paul Sng, the new documentary POLY STYRENE: I AM A CLICHE is a fascinating exploration of one woman’s legacy through the eyes of the daughter she left behind. Starring Oscar nominee Ruth Negga as the voice of Poly Styrene, Cliché examines the life of the punk icon and X-Ray Spex frontwoman and the impact that her voice has had on the music industry. However, Poly’s life was more than her music. After her passing, Celeste Bell (who is also Poly’s daughter) takes the opportunity to deep dive into her mother’s career while also finding healing for their difficult relationship. In this 1on1, we speak with Bell about her mother's legacy, the pain and power of the image and reconciling with her past.
