What is body modification? According to the definition employed by "Modify" directors Jason Gary and Greg Jacobson, it's liposuction, body-building, plastic surgery, tattooing, piercings, sexual redesignation and suspension – the hanging of one's body on hooks. "Once you've done this," says one suspender, "the rest of your life is a piece of cake." A plastic surgeon suggests that even shaving, or combing your hair, is a manipulation of your body and therefore eligible for the category. Such a wide definition allows "Modify" to make parallels between the most benign and the most radical transformations. The film delves into the practices and philosophies of those who augment their bodies, be it for vanity or artistic vision.
IMDB
In an era where simple tattoos have become passé and the more adventurous have turned to scarification, implants, and even surgery to expand their physical horizons, filmmakers Greg Jacobson and Jason Gary take an unflinching look at the most extreme body modifications ever attempted. In addition to speaking with thirty unique individuals who have altered their external appearances in order to better express themselves, Jacobson and Gary also conduct interviews with the pioneering artists, surgeons, cutters, tattooists, and body artists who made these extreme modifications a reality. With more than fifty body modification procedures including tanning, waxing, bodybuilding, tattooing, elective amputations, tongue splitting, trans-gender surgeries, and everything in between captured on camera, Modify may horrify, but it may also open your mind in ways you never thought possible.Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
This is by far the most well done Documentary about body modification. A true work of art! All of the Stars in the movie really get to express their true feelings on the topics of Modification v.s Mutilation, Religion, the laws of body modification and addiction. This movie also explores the underground world of extreme body art and everything from Make-Up to gender Reassignment, Modify has it all!!!!!! Not to mention an epic Soundtrack of all original material that really puts the cherry on top of this Film. Modify is a must see for anyone who is even the slightest bit intrigued by the many different types of body modification. This one gets a Well Deserved 10!IMDB Reviewer
