In the Oz of San Francisco, German journalist Ina Blum, researching an article on the nature of romantic love, finds exactly what she was looking for — and then some — thanks to the help of lesbian strip‑show barker Susie Sexpert (Susie Bright), drag king Ramona (Shelly Mars), and her mysteriously kinky neighbors (Cléo Dubois and Fakir Musafar). A fiercely controversial work of lesbian cinema, it led Die Zeit to proclaim: “Films like Monika Treut’s are destroying cinema.”

Screening with a video introduction by Queer Cinema: Lost & Found programmer Elizabeth Purchell.
