Paris Hilton and Benji Madden hit up the Toronto Film Festival on Tuesday for the premiere of Paris, Not France, a documentary film about -- what else? -- the life of Paris Hilton.
The film is the first feature effort for director Adria Petty.
With close access to Hilton, Petty shot extensive footage of Hilton talking about her image, her notorious sex tape, the tabloid photographers who follow her and just the business of being herself.
"I'm basically being judged, and they're creating this false person, and I can't do anything about it," Hilton says in the film.
Featuring interviews with Hilton's parents, sister Nicky, publicist Elliott Mintz and such personalities as Donald Trump, "Paris, Not France" follows her on business meetings, a promotional trip to Japan and everyday tasks such as getting a burger at a drive-thru while dozens of photographers take shots of her ordering.
"It's amazing that this woman is a human being and that people actually can be ruthless enough to forget that," Petty said. "That's the one thing about this movie and about that experience with her is I could have just been shooting fluff, but she gave me a lot more."
Um, is it wrong that I can't wait to see this film?
