Wer an dieses vor funkelndem Charme triefende Grindhouse-Juwel nicht sein Herz verliert, muss verflucht sein. So wie Sexarbeiterin AP, der ein Medium mittels Tarotkarten eine üble Verwünschung diagnostiziert. Um sich diese vom Hals zu schaffen, müssen ein Opferlamm plus 1000 Dollar her, und so begibt sich AP mit der Unterstützung von Ex Danni auf eine Odyssee durch Trashtown – von verkoksten Sexpartys zur trügerischen DJ-Villa. Annapurna Srirams Regiedebüt ist ebenso wild, kinky und schräg wie zart, queer und empathisch, voll mit schillernden Charakteren, Komik und nonkonformistischer Chuzpe. Körnig-satt gebannt auf 16mm-Film, getränkt im betörenden Sommerdunst Louisianas. (Matthias Eckkrammer)
Annapurna Sriram
Annapurna Sriram grew up in Nashville, Tennessee, and a lot of her early artistic influences were informed by the unchaperoned movie rentals she found at the local public library. Graduating with a BFA in Acting, she spent many years working in New York both on stage and in television and film. Her credits include Jesse Eisenberg’s play The Spoils and multi-episode arcs on the series Billions and The Blacklist. Fucktoys, her directorial debut, premiered at SXSW, where it won the Special Jury Award for a Multi-Hyphenate.
