Featuring three films on DVD:
Butterfly Kiss
A Film by Michael Winterbottom (24 Hour Party People)
Eunice (Amanda Plummer) and Miriam (Saskia Reeves) are a pair of unlikely lovers
on a lethal road trip through Britain. Eunice, an unpredictable social outcast,
one day meets Miriam, a beautiful yet withdrawn gas station attendant, and before
long the two are on the road and in love. Even when Eunice starts murdering
horny truckers and pesky salesmen, Miriam believes she can save her friend.
The question is, can Miriam make Eunice good before Eunice makes Miriam bad?
Peach
Starring Lucy Lawless
Featuring the Amazonian star of Xena: Warrior Princess as you've never seen
her, Peach stars Lucy Lawless as a sexy tow truck driver attracted to a young
Maori woman. In A Bitter Song (Lucy's first film role!), she plays a kind nurse
who helps a troubled young girl.
The Watermelon Woman
A Film by Cheryl Dunye
Cheryl Dunye's debut feature is as controversial as it is sexy and funny. Dunye's
character (Cheryl) is a twenty-something black lesbian working as a clerk in
a video store while struggling to make a documentary about Fae Richards, an
obscure black actress from the 1930's. Cheryl is surprised to discover that
Richards (known populary as "the Watermelon Woman") had a white lesbian
lover. At the same time, Cheryl falls in love with a very cute white customer
at the video store (Guinevere Turner from Go Fish).
