Shot in velvety 35mm, the film explores the contemporary notions of female glamour, narcissism and gender relations. If some will see an homage to old pulp paperbacks, others will understand it as a revolt against male-dominated systems. Anna Biller is aware of this ambiguity, but stays impartial: “audiences who watch a lot of classic movies don’t have those misconceptions.” Whatever the critics say, Anna Biller’s had once again expressed her unique filmmaking voice. And the result is both highly reminiscent and erotically spellbinding.
