　　本片通过1896－2020年的80多部电影的影像片段，研究了电影镜头设计的政治性，以及这些元电影是如何与性虐待/侵犯和对女性的就业歧视这两种现象的猖獗有所挂钩的。

　　Menkes’ spellbinding, formally inventive first feature follows detached sex worker Ida (Tinka Menkes) through the bars, flophouses and swimming pools of East Los Angeles as she moves inextricably towards an unexpected spiritual awakening. Blending poetry by Anne Sexton, Mary Daly and Gertrude Stein, with allusions to Catholicism and mediaeval witch hunts, this stylish and slow-burning psycho-noir builds to a spectacular denouement.
