Abel Ferrara’s exploitation-scuzz classic takes place in the cesspool of 1980s New York, where mute garment-district worker Thana (Zoë Lund, who also cowrote Ferrara’s Bad Lieutenant) is sexually assaulted twice within hours.. and then something snaps. Packing a pistol and clad in leather (and later a nun’s habit), Thana handily wastes a good chunk of Manhattan’s male population, while Ferrara and Lund, at once reveling in and subverting the film’s grindhouse trappings, forge a feminist statement in extremis. (USA, 1981, 80 mins, R, English | Dir. Abel Ferrara)
