Directed by Richard Kern
Twitter Facebook Google+Overview
Elizabeth bristles at the religious directives of her parents, asserting her right to personhood outside demure hairstyles and turkey dinners, constructing voodoo dolls and entertaining other manners of dark drawing in her dank emo-den. When confronted with the humanity and hypocrisy of her tormentors, the young antihero vanquishes their belief systems (and bodies) asserting, “You killed me first!”

Viewing Notes
I’m surprised that Kino haven’t put out a collection of Richard Kern’s ‘80s no wave work, or Nick Zedd for that matter. I discovered Kern around the start of college via Sonic Youth and Swans, as well as a David Wojnarowicz exhibition the art gallery at ISU.
