Description:
The film blends childhood stories of the artist as a young lesbian with intimate tales of the artist as a young woman exploring her sexuality, reflecting the filmmaker's own life of performance. She commits a daring bank robbery in Morocco, confronts a shepherd on International Women's Day, and performs a provocative act on Hollywood Boulevard. This former child movie star was the standard against which her ambitious mother measured herself. Her grandmother, a cook for Lillian Gish in Hollywood, introduced the young woman and her mother to D.W. Griffith. Drawing from broader cultural studies for critique, the film presents a unique perspective on lesbian experience, using a blend of voices to create an ironic commentary on authority.
