Women in Revolt - Enzian Theater

Paul Morrissey Tribute Film!

Take a walk on the wild side with three girls from different walks of life — and they’ve all got man problems!

High-society dame Candy (transgender icon Candy Darling), frigid middle-class matron Jackie (Curtis), and gutter nymphomaniac Holly (Woodlawn) are inspired by the fashionable Women’s Lib movement to get organized as PIG (Politically Involved Girls) and give up men. However, their attempts to go lesbian and build new careers only lead to exploitation and abandonment in this outrageous, gender-bending cult comedy from director Paul Morrissey (Blood for Dracula, Flesh for Frankenstein) and producer Andy Warhol.

1971, USA, 97 minutes, Directed by Paul Morrissey, Rated X

“Everything is a joke, a put-on, there's no malice or cynicism in Warhol's intent. [Women in Revolt], like most of Warhol's stuff, has a curious innocence in its blatant crudeness."
– Chuck Emerson, THE BULLDOG
“As outrageous as it sounds!”
– Kevin Thomas, THE LOS ANGELES TIMES
“As hilarious as it is dirty. The film carries no screenplay credit, so I have no idea who is responsible for the dialogue, which often is foolish and occasionally inspired in the way that good parodies must be."
– Vincent Canby, THE NEW YORK TIMES
