Female Perversions

Posted on March 28, 1998February 15, 2021 by Village Vidiot

  “Female Perversions,” 28 March 1998, video.   This interesting but overblown and melodramatic look at female insecurity chronicles a tough, accomplished, and renowned woman lawyer and prosecutor (Tilda Swinton) through her work life and very active and very bisexual love life. Despite great success in the courtroom and her soon-to-be appointment as a judge, she is utterly insecure and destructively self-critical about her smarts, work, attitude, appearance, and abilities. In much the same way, her sister (Amy Madigan) is a brilliant anthropology grad student who is destructively into kleptomania. Finally, we meet the young girl who is self-mutilating and cutting off her hair to avoid becoming the woman she is after reaching menarche. An interesting film, but it veers towards the melodramatic. All is blamed on the father’s coldness. Some good, interesting sex scenes,
