Gaga: Five Foot Two
About “Gaga: Five Foot Two”:
Gaga: Five Foot Two is a 2017 American documentary film directed by Chris Moukarbel about singer Lady Gaga. It was produced by Moukarbel, Gaga, Bobby Campbell, and Heather Parry. Shot in a cinéma vérité style and avoiding retrospective material and conventional interviews, it follows Gaga over the course of a year as she records, releases, and promotes her fifth studio album, Joanne (2016), while also preparing for her performance at the Super Bowl LI halftime show. The film presents an intimate portrait of Gaga's personal and professional life, including her relationships with family, friends, collaborators, and fans, and foregrounds her struggle with chronic pain, later identified as fibromyalgia. The project originated through Gaga's management team and was produced by Live Nation, with Moukarbel filming much of the documentary himself over an approximately eight-month period and shaping it as an intimate, present-tense portrait rather than a conventional retrospective.
