Abel Ferrara

17-year-old Zoë Lund takes center stage as a traumatized victim turned vigilante in Abel Ferrara’s rape-revenge exploitation film. Like Scorsese’s Taxi Driver before it, this cult classic is a furiously subversive indictment of an especially nasty era for New York City.

Pauline, a wealthy socialite, has a secret relationship with a tarot card reading mystic, known only as Gypsy. Recording and reporting on her various sexual experiences, as well as those of her friends, Pauline and Gypsy use each other to explore their darkest sexual and emotional recesses.
