This has been a favorite ever since I saw it in the 90s. PJ was already one of my favorite directors but this just proved he was so much more than diy gore and camp. He could work up some real pathos and thread a great dramatic needle. He never tips the scale one way or the other here. Our characters are both sympathetic and also terrible. Everyone is so human and real.

Everything about this movie was perfectly my vibe.
From the title card to the closing credits I found something enchanting. The leads were phenomenal (though I’m already a huge fan of both, so… biased) and the other characters were well done enough that I felt kinda bad when they died but also they kinda deserved it.
Good plot twists and setups pay off well. Some good violence.

This has been my Holy Grail in the SuSu filmography so when I found it on the Internet Archive I pounced.
Unfortunately, like everything else there, it’s grainy and the sound quality is pretty poor. It’s a recording of a live theater performance so the (very small) audience laughing and clapping comes through louder than a lot of the dialogue.
But, it’s Susan’s semi-autobiographical one woman show… and she’s the same age here I am now which blows my mind.…Translated from by
