A lovely underground video from 1997. A 40 minute camp melodrama by Mike Kuchar starring Donna Kerness, best known from Kuchar's "The Craven Sluck" and glam-punk rocker Kembra Pfahler. A mother and daughter compete over men and for their place in the world of exploitation film. Quite a bit of nudity, funny dialog. There's murder, sex, corporal punishment. A brilliant movie. Filmed in New York.
Mike Kuchar and his late brother, George, always had a very innocent quality, which is strange since their movies tend to be somewhat dirty.

I've thought for some time that zero budget movies should top out at 40 minutes. If it won't be shown in a theater, there's probably little reason for it to drag on for an hour and a half. Shows that analog video can look pretty good. Shows the importance of music. Most of the conversations are dialog between two characters.
