Gypsy 38: The Director's Cut / Get Punk'd

dir. Todd Stephens / 2001 / 138 min.

Sandusky, Ohio is hell on earth for goth misfits and Stevie Nicks superfans Gypsy Vale (Sara Rue) and her younger, queer protégée Clive Webb (Birkett Turton). When they discover a New York City club is hosting a “Night of 1000 Stevies”, the pair hit the road with high hopes that Gypsy will be able to perform. Along the way, they encounter other misfits who pave the way to their salvation, all while discovering profound truths about themselves. Costarring John Doe of the legendary punk band X and the great Karen Black as a has-been lounge singer, Todd Stephens's cult favorite puts a queer, outsider spin on both the road movie and the coming-of-age journey, with plenty of black eyeliner to spare.

For its 25th Anniversary, GYPSY 83 has been completely reimagined as a brand-new Director’s Cut featuring over 40 minutes of never-before-seen footage and containing more legendary goth songs from bands like The Cure, Cocteau Twins and Echo and the Bunnymen!
