Kamikaze Hearts (Blu-ray)
Director: Juliet Bashore
AlternateIy distressing, instructive, contestable, and fascinating, Juliet Bashore’s quasi-documentary plunge into the 1980s porn industry takes an unsparing Iook at issues of misogyny, drug abuse, and exploitation via the story of two women?the naive newcomer Tigr and her partner, the magnetic, imperious porn veteran Sharon Mitchell ? caught in a toxic romance.
By turns mesmerizing and unsettling, Kamikaze Hearts is both a fascinating record of pre-gentrification San Francisco’s X-rated underground and an intense, searing Iove story. The film offers a disturbing glimpse of the modification of bodies, feeIings, and lives.
Presented in a new 2K restoration from the originaI 16mm A/B camera negatives, Kamikaze Hearts has been restored by Kino Lorber in collaboration with the Outfest UCLA Legacy Project at the UCLA FiIm & TeIevision Archive.
