CGiii Comment

Humble beginnings for Mr Sachs...

Here, rather than being a director, he's more a camera-man...recording a somewhat affected woman...with little talent for writing.

It's a product of the time - any film-school student producing something like this now...would fail.

The(ir) Blurb...

Written and performed by Dominique Dibbell (of the Five Lesbian Brothers), "Lady" is gender confusion at its best! The exact identity of Lady's red-headed protagonist is hard to pin down. Is she a woman playing a man playing a woman, or, more specifically, a lesbian playing a gay man playing a heterosexual woman? The juxtaposition of various cinematic styles in the film, from quasi-'70s variety to home movies to a more distanced black and white, adds to the sense of a character continually redefining herself. This purposeful ambiguity--who is the lad in the red wig?--invites the audience to question the blurred parameters of sexuality, desire and what it means to be a woman.
