Bloodsports for Girls A lone woman is followed on three dreamlike journeys where she claims her sexuality and samples the forbidden fruit of Dr. Freud. The woman lives in a sumptuous and surreal world where her erotic dreams are populated by snails, tadpoles, and her ever present scissors. The film, with lacivious tongue in cheek, uses freudian symbols to confront ideals of female sexuality and break taboos by mixing the forbidden with lucious sensual pleasure. A richly visual, witty and haunting film, drawing its literary influences from the notes of Freud, T.S. Eliot and the Bumper Book for Girls. Here comes the candle to light you to bed Here comes the chopper to chop off your head A film about desire, fantasy and the abject.
