This film, written and directed by Paul Morrissey, is very strange. It tells the story of a young East German who swims ashore on a US beach. Stripping down to his swimming costume, he uses a switchblade to mutilate his thigh, for no apparent reason. Wandering the streets, he falls in with a streetwalker and her gay pimp who is obsessed with doorknobs. The streetwalker’s father is a fat transvestite who spends most of the time talking about junk food and the rest of the time tormenting his adolescent son. Our hero moves into an abandoned building full of strange characters. It turns out that the East German is in America to recruit Jane Fonda (who not surprisingly is not in the film) to aid the Communist revolution. Meanwhile, Madame Wang runs the only punk Chinese restaurant in town.Read More »
