The Wild World of Lydia Lunch (1983)


THE WILD WORLD OF LYDIA LUNCH  (1983)  ¢ ¢
    D: Nick Zedd
Portrait of the artist as a young punk. Lydia Lunch rambles on about how broke and alienated she feels, while somebody follows her around with a camera. Then there's some weird music and she pushes a kid on a swing in the park and wanders around some more in a diaphanous white dress and plays with a dog and takes off on a motorcycle and smashes a mirror and hugs a dead tree and chases some sheep across a field. It's not all that wild, really. Sometimes she's almost in focus.
