Abel Ferrara’s exploitation-scuzz
classic takes place in the cesspool of 1980s New York, where mute
garment-district worker Thana (Zoë Lund,
who also cowrote Ferrara’s Bad Lieutenant)
is sexually assaulted twice within hours.. and then something snaps. Packing a
pistol and clad in leather (and later a nun’s habit), Thana handily wastes a
good chunk of Manhattan’s male population, while Ferrara and Lund, at once
reveling in and subverting the film’s grindhouse trappings, forge a feminist
statement in extremis. (USA, 1981, 80
mins, R, English | Dir. Abel Ferrara)
