Quote:
A film noirish atmosphere is created to show detective Lunch (a popular underground musician and poet) plow her way through the plans of a corporate businessman who seeks government defense contracts through real “corporate wars” and the manipulation of politicians.

The post Beth B & Scott B – Vortex (1982) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

“Vivienne Dick’s second film has at its centre two of the subjects of her first film “Guerillere Talks”, Pat Place and Lydia Lunch. Moving from a kitchen on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the film explores the dynamic between a complacent, almost catatonic/zombified Pat Place and the demonic, aggressive Lydia Lunch (repeating “What are you going to do?” over and over), ending with a showdown (i.e. Pat strangling Lydia) at the rollercoaster on Coney Island. The film utilises a linear narrative which is counterbalanced by an impressionistic view of New York, lit by green fluorescent lights, with intermittent effects added in-camera by Dick, including red filters and ‘earthquakes’. The relationship between the two women is ambiguous, they may represent elements of a single identity or the influence of a stronger will over a weaker character. It is the dynamic between these two unequal forces which propels the narrative. Premiered @ Max’s Kansas City, New York in September 1978.”

The post Vivienne Dick – She Had Her Gun All Ready (1978) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Scott B and Beth B, successful makers of short, experimental films made The Vortex an attempt at a “camp” film with a pessimistic “noirish” atmosphere. The detective Lunch (Lydia Lunch, a popular underground musician and poet) investigates a band of corporate businessman who seek government defense contracts through real “corporate wars” and the manipulation of politicians. Though a bit confusing, this film does have an excellent performance by Lunch, as the detective. – AllMovieGude
