The Gun Is Loaded

剧情简介

Performance artist/confrontationist icon Lydia Lunch delivers a brutally frank manifesto in this journey through the heart of contemporary American darkness. Lydia's poetic nihilism is set against a barrage of real-life street-action, scenery, news footage, and the deranged music of J. G. Thirlwell. At the end of the Reagan years, rocker and confrontational performance artist Lydia Lunch launches a broadside. From a formal podium, she attacks the white male power structure of the US. Next she takes on her parents. Then, the volume lowered and the background the streets of New York, she lets us know what she thinks of life, of herself, and of us, anyone who's watching or listening. Life is depression, despair, and death. She's the girl next door gone bad. And us? Compliant sheep. Lunch lays out a challenge. Do you want a buxom foul-mouthed loud punk-rocker chick spewing rage and doom at you? I thought so, then this is the featurette for you. You complacent beer swilling couch potato- hey, wait that's me ! 1988, Lydia Lunch lays down this end -of- the Reagan era rant mixing on -target social commentary with her own personal anger. AND THIS LADY'S REALLY ANGRY. Don't honk her off in a diner or you might be wearing that lasagna home, bub. Lydia Lunch Delivers her scathing postmodern sermon first from a studio, then from various blight sites in the big apple; which form a fitting backdrop for her zesty bleakness. Politicians, parents, men and American consumerism all take a beating from the Duchess of Darkness. So if you enjoy unresolved rage, exhilarating profanity and timeless critiques of politics and human nature check out - THE GUN IS LOADED.
