CGiii Comment

A symphony in red: the red of life, death, love, and the painfully feminine ritual of monthly cadence. A wry comedy on the disagreeable aspects of menstruation, in which women act out their own dramas on a California hillside, in a supermarket, characterized by a red-filtered liturgy, at the same time heretical and eucharistic, a ceremony based on anti-inflammatory and blood that enshrines the new and eternal alliance between women, amidst stacks of tampons and rolls of toilet paper. Menses combines both the imagery and the politics of menstruation in a shrewd blend of comedy and drama.


There was a trailer...but, it has since disappeared.
