FILM REVIEWS:


For Thanatopsis:

"The end result is something solemn, yet also uplifting in a curiously undefinable way. I left the Kitchen that night feeling . . . not buoyant, but definitely freed from the vampire's kiss of moral lethargy. This is an antidote that should be in everyone's medicine cabinet."

   Lous Stathis, REFLEX

For The Gun Is Loaded:

"… this is a powerful -- if strident -- piece of work, a personal art piece . . . It should be mandatory viewing…"

   Micheal Dare, BILLBOARD

"Still, if you think Lunch is just your garden variety nihilist, you're wrong. It's a mark of cowardice, in fact, to mistake her disillusion for defeat. The passion of her fury is the best testimony to her lack of cynicism."

   Jim Farber, NY DAILY NEWS

For Vortex:

"'Vortex' is still another private-eye spoof, but one that has the good fortune to have as its star an actress named Lydia Lunch."

   Vincent Canby, THE NEW YORK TIMES

"… from Russo's Method overacting to Lunch's delicious coarseness. . . a downtown gallery of elegant, provocative images."

   TIME MAGAZINE

For The Right Side of My Brain:

". . . the written transcript is Lydia at her story-telling best, a worthy visual successor to her last 'The Uncensored Lydia Lunch' cassette release. . . I loved every disgusting minute."

   Edwind Pouncey, SCANNERS

". . . this 30-minute movie does feature some of the wildest poetic rants by one of New York's greatest underground music heroes -- Lydia Lunch. Lydia's description of her character's sado-masochistic desires include some of her wittiest and most frightening word-play to date. And as a screen presence, she can be described only as a head-on collision of Kathleen Turner and Divine. Really."

   Jim Farber, City Lights

For Fingered:

"The Berlin Film Festival ended with a bang of sorts. The last film to screen in the Panorama section, 'Fingered', featured underground star Lydia Lunch. . . CAUSES A RUCKUS AT BERLIN PANORAMA FINALE".

   Owen Levy, VARIETY
