In her only feature film direction to date, the American artist Cindy Sherman concocts a peculiarly funny caricature of the psycho-thriller and horror genres. The film, introduced by Gilda Williams, follows the transformation of the ‘pathetic’ office mouse Dorine into an unruly predator of the femme-fatale-gone-wrong sort. Having stirred up a criminal chaos, Dorine finds much pleasure in fashioning a grisly tableau of her bitchy colleagues in a dark basement, upping the stakes in Sherman’s trademark portrayal of perversity.

Introduced by Gilda Williams, lecturer in contemporary art at Sotheby's Institute of Art, London, former Editor for Contemporary Art at Phaidon Press, contributor to TATE ETC., Art Monthly, Parkett and many other art journals.
