She's only faithful to the book.

Candy (1968) is a psychedelic odyssey through the counterculture of the late 1960s, where a high school girl navigates a surreal landscape of eccentric characters and ribald encounters. Director Vicente Minnelli frames her quest for existential clarity with a kaleidoscopic array of dreamlike vignettes, each more outré than the last. The film's brazen humor and unapologetic irreverence toward societal norms make it a singular artifact of its time, a trippy, irreverent romp that defies easy categorization.
