Review of Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965) by Daniel H — 28 May 2007

A luminous entry into a grimy genre. It never goes too far, but dwells around an androgynous zone with so many phallic metaphors it makes your head spin. Russ Meyer seems unfairly slapped with a moniker of father of the porno film, especially considering this movie is less about sex and much more about gender roles.

It's dead on seriousness, especially for what might have been campy subject matter, makes it far bolder and watchable than one would believe at first. A classic cult-film.
