Overview

Ellion Ness, a thoroughly professional stripper, goes through her paces, bares her body, and then, astonishingly and literally, transcends it. While the film makes a forceful political statement on the image of woman and the true meaning of stripping, the intergalactic transcendence of its ending locates it firmly within the mainstream of joyous humanism and stubborn optimism.

Viewing Notes

Gunvor films stripper Ellion Ness from a variety of angles using a few different camera tricks to give an impression of being part of act. Zoom-ins and close-ups provide an intimacy until things get weird and fantastical.
