Justice for this movie!!!!!! I love it so much i really can’t think of anything quite like it. Ahead of its time..personally think this is such an effective and unique way to tell the story of a sex worker - from her own mouth, talking to the audience directly as if it’s a documentary/interview about her life. Ken Russell does a great job of showing how men can use sex as a tool of power, and the exploitation & abuse many women deal with at their hands. He condemns the consumers and leaches of Liz’s industry but never the women working it. Appropriately heavy at times with funny moments that (along with its campiness) add a satirical aspect to it, which Russell did as a response to Pretty Woman that had come out a year prior. Very fab.
