Ms. 45
Cult star Zoe Lund fights back in Abel Ferrara's vigilante 'rape revenge' drama. A film in the 'rape revenge' cycle that includes I Spit on Your Grave and Baise-moi, Ms .45 details the oppression of mute Thana (Zoe Tamerlis, later Zoe Lund, who died in 1999) on every social level - sexually, publicly, at work.

The only way for Ferrara's heroine to confront an insane, violent world is on its own terms, as a deranged vigilante. The result is a feminist movie unafraid to court the difficult contradictions in guerrilla empowerment.

Imported 35mm print.
