Hoezo in KINO

Directed by Bette Gordon, this New York ‘reversed role‘ stalker story about a peep show box office worker developing an obsession for a male customer, is definitely influenced by the likes of Scorsese’s Taxi Driver and even Hitchcock’s Vertigo, but has a distinct own voice that examines themes of loneliness, desire and lust. A stylish, still criminally underappreciated neo-noir that deserves a much wider audience and a more prominent place in the indie cinema pantheon. Gordon sent us a personal introduction for her film, so that’s quite an honor. English language without subtitles.
