Experiencing Interruptions?

My Cunt (1997)

Filmed in B/W and enhanced by a single piano soundtrack MY CUNT is a clever exposition of the agonies of living with a cunt. Originally written for the stage, Melbourne actor Maude Davey stars in the film adaptation of her subversive black comedy MY CUNT. In this bold and controversial monologue, Maude poses sly questions about the meaning of female perfection as she introduces us to her grandmother's favourite party trick and gives us a glimpse of what Demi Moore, Pamela Anderson Lee and her grandmother have in common.
