![]() Shown at Venice Film Festival (Venetian Nights) August 29 - September 7, 1996. ![]() ![]() More than just deadly vamps, the “nasty women” in our programs deflect and defile rigid gender norms by any means possible: they blow up the kitchen, shatter all the dinnerware, dismember their limbs to revolutionize their labor, torment their employers with sadistic pranks, playfully transgress sexual and racial taboos, swap bodies and metamorphose into other species, and flaunt their corporeality with predatory abandon. Released in United States Winter January 1, 1996. This series on “Nasty Women” includes four curated programs of short films – “Catastrophe in the Kitchen,” “Léontine/Betty,” “Identity Crisis,” and “Catastrophe Beyond the Kitchen” – as well as one feature film, The Deadlier Sex, about a female railroad tycoon who abducts a rival businessman and strands him in the wilderness with only his wallet. Long before there were “pussy hats” and late-night feminist satirists, comedienne characters such as Léontine, Rosalie, Cunégonde, Lea, Bridget, and Tilly spoke truth to patriarchal power with their gleefully reckless and wholesale destructive disregard for gendered social norms and feminine corporeal decorum.
